     Will My Mother-in-Law s "Too Easy" Abode Rules Disengage My Dog s Training?   by Adam G. Katz

    Dear Adam:

    My ancestors and I wish to add our thanks-- to all the additional acknowledgment you consistently receive. You accept produced a book that is SOOO simple to read, understand, follow, and with abundant analogies.

    I accept apprehend the book foreground to back. My affair will affect to page 141, "Psychological Abusage Through Isolation."

    Here it goes....

    On the weekdays, I will get up in the morning anywhere amid 0530 to 0600 (sometimes earlier, amid 0500 to 0530). I will let my (now 6 months old) Jack Russell out of the crate, got out for his morning business, play, a lot of cuddle and rubbing, and with some training. I use the brawl on a braiding you suggested. I anticipation this would make assailment problems, until I apprehend the book. Agriculture time, I will do the down-stay command, for 30 sec or so, then ask him to go in to the crate, and addition break command, for about 30 sec. Then I augment him central his crate. Afterwards this, it s aback alfresco for his additional business. Then play some added with the brawl on a rope, some fetching, and added fun training. I convenance the break command like you said, area I will acting him. He is accepting bigger with my absolution command of "OK". [Editor s note: Don t use "OK" for a absolution command. Use something that isn t so calmly abashed with our accustomed vernacular... such as, "Take A Break" or "Free!"] He will not move until I say "OK". I wish to create abiding I get in as abundant detail as possible.

    At 0700 I accept to crate him. Until I get home at 1700. If he is out at about 1700, it s agriculture time and then some training afresh as above, and a lot of affecting (petting and rubbing). I understand that s 10 hours in the crate, however, if he s out, my ancestors and I play like crazy with him for about 2-3 hrs, by 2100 he s searching up at the couch and my wife, cat-and-mouse for the "up" command so he can blow with her. I know, I know, I apprehend about not traveling to their level. If this happens I go to the chair, abroad from them. Then he will beddy-bye through the accomplished night in his crate.

    I accept the advantage to accept him to go to my ancestors for the day. They own two dogs, a Aureate Lab (2 years), and a Jack Russell (7 months). Both are NOT able-bodied trained. The Lab barks at everything. The Jack Russell consistently nips at my dog s afterwards legs, snarls, and bites and never stops. My mother in-law does not actual either dog. My better affair is that my dog will aces all the bad habits, because I am not there to actual him. My dog did not case until he backward with them for about a anniversary or so. Also, 9 times out of 10 he will bandy up in his crate, to and from my in-laws. So I absitively to stick to my schedule, to crate him at home. The weekends however, he is out and arena with us.

    Here is my catechism (and dilemma)... Should I yield him to my ancestors with two green dogs? Area she may let him out for about 30 account or so a day for bathroom breaks, and a little play time (if connected nipping, abrupt & bitter is advised play, this hasn t chock-full for the accomplished month). Then aback into the crate or I should I leave him at home in the crate until I get home, and do some bonding, superior playing, forth with training and abstain the throwing up?

    I understand you will accept a abbreviate answer. I just capital to create abiding you were create acquainted of the circumstances, to bigger adjudicator me. I ve followed Aggregate you say to do (ok, except the couch bit-- that is my wife s little bonding moment with him.) Afresh many, some acknowledgment from the Martinez family, from Canada eh. For those humans analytic if they should buy the book.... There is no charge to question... Just buy the book...!!!! I reside in the east bank and spent the best abuse $90 Canadian for these books and tapes... It s added than account it...

    Thank you for your patience... and God absolve you, your ancestors and team.

    -- Tanx.

    Dear Tanx:

    Thanks for the affectionate words.

    I may be off the mark here, but I anticipate that the catechism you re absolutely allurement is, "Will my mother-in-law s too-easy abode rules disengage my dog s training?"

    And the acknowledgment is: No, you accept annihilation to anguish about.

    However, your dog may alpha accomplishing things that he NEVER DOES at home. But it s just like a adolescent who goes to Grandma s abode and gets abroad with all kinds of rotten behavior... because she can! But aloft abiding home, she s acute abundant to understand that YOUR abode rules apply.

    But generally times, aloft advancing home, the dog will try to analysis you to amount out if the lax rules at Grandma s abode are now the aforementioned at home. And as continued as you re constant and motivational, it should alone yield acclimation the dog for any exceptionable behavior Already and the dog will anon bethink that the old abode rules IN YOUR Abode are to be respected.
