| Re: Correcting whining
You don't need to fix the cause of the anxiety. When you redirect the dog, teaching her to replace the unwanted behavior with a wanted behavior, this will take care of the anxiety. When she is focusing on the new behavior, she will forget about the anxiety. Just don't give up on the training, as so many seem to do - this takes time. This doesn't happen in just a few days. Corrections are not what is needed - it is the redirection of replacing one behavior with a behavior that gets positive reinforcement. |
