| Re: Dog "challenging rank?" or just looking for attention first of all, i am encouraged by what i see on this forum. im new to the site and its good to see people helping each other out like this. just a quick thought about training tho. i hear a lot about treats, and that is great. our 3 1/2 year old female, nitro, will do anything for a treat. but i have found it is better, when possible, to reward the dog with affection and praise. from my experience this results in more consistant behaviour, plus we all know how much our rotties love encouragement! |
