| Thanks for replying. The lab does go outside with the rottie. If I go out with her and then come back in , she sits at that door looking in. However she eventually goes on about her business. She would NEVER bark at the door to come in . (She doesn't bark to go come in or go out ever. The only time she barks is if she sees or hears something to bark about.) When she was younger i had to teach her to ring a bell with her nose to let me know she wanted out because she just wouldn't bark to go out. Anyway, she has caught on to me sneaking back inside so she give me an even harder time going out. When she does pee we praise her, clap and sometimes even cheer!
I have tried putting on her collar and leash that worked once or twice. I give 'come' comands that eventually works but only for me no one else.
The latest thing we have be practicing is the 'stay' command. I have both her and the lab sit & stay. Then I have other people (Even their favorite people) call them. After about 2 or 3 times neither one would even think about moving. (Their only repremand was a Strong "NO" and I returned them to their original spot they were in.No collars or leashes or other corrections.) Since we have done this she is a bit more willing to go out for me. As you can see I do not have problem dogs although they may be a bit spoiled. I just want to know WHY she's doing this. Especially since my sister's rottie is starting the same thing.  |
