simba Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've started using (dog) chocolate drops because she adores them. In an unfamiliar-to-her field same thing happened- the person I was walking with let her off and she disappeared on a scent. I called, once, and she ran back to me at a sprint from the other end and sat down in front of me. Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Now to get her to do it again...

simba Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I like reading updates on other people's threads so I figured I'd add one on my own. She's got a fair bit better with the night thing. Her former 'good days' are now 'normal days'. It's harder to judge with the running off on a scent, because that's so infrequent- it hasn't happened since but then I wouldn't have expected it to.

simba Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 So today was the first 'bad' day since March! Pretty damn fabulous, I must say, and that bad day was only because I've got sloppy and complacent over the last few months. I love that dog. Must get a few more choc drops in and remember to keep reinforcing it. I don't like teaching a dog to eat something that smells like chocolate, but it works.
