First, I used to hurt dogs when I trained them. Years ago, I used a pinch collar, a choke collar, etc. to train my dogs, and used physical force to get them to do what I wanted to do.<\/p>\n
Years ago, I used to train police dogs, and the guys would use electric collars. <\/p>\n
I'm tired of that.<\/p>\n
I also think that when you tell a dog to sit, they should sit until you tell them to get up. Same thing with down and stand.<\/p>\n
I've tried all that with Macy, and the minute I move, she moves. We need to fix this.<\/p>\n
Now, back in the day when I used corrections I had a beagle named Peppermint Patty who couldn't stay either. Used lots of force, use lots of corrections. <\/p>\n
Then I had a beagle named Marcie, who I could put on the stay line at an agility trial and go to the whole end of the arena, and she would take every obstace in between. Took a while, but I got it. She could do the same type of thing at the table.<\/p>\n
Same thing with Maggie.<\/p>\n
Both dogs I trained to stay at the start line, told them to sit, moved away and they would do it. Like I said, took a while.<\/p>\n
I swear I'm using the same techniques with Macy, but the moment I move, she's gone. She's stay for a while if I stay still, but not as long as I can stay. She'll eventually get up every time. And she twitches while she is trying to stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
