Thanks for all the advice Hey just wanted to let everyone know, even with just a few days of training, Tofu is doing great. Haven't visited other ppl's homes yet BUT when there is the other dog's left overs in our house he leaves it untouched!!! I figured out what the problem was. The...

I totally understand. Been there, done that. The bell was a GREAT idea for potty training, but after he was potty trained the bell was a nuisance!!! Felt like the maid for my dog. My solution: I chucked the bell into the ocean! :P I'm kidding, I removed it all together because the bell already...

<3 it! That's a great way to look at it Aussie Red and very respectful. woa this got a lot more heated then I expected here. You could cut the tension with a butter knife! This is a great ER training guide. I've been training my regular recalls like ER though. O_o I only call "COME" when I...
