[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to be careful with the timing of treats - you don't want to end up rewarding your dog for bad behaviors. We had a large poodle who lost his shit all the time with certain dogs (loved others). If on a walk and uncertain of what he'd do, I'd distract him, keep him on the side of me furthest from the other dog, I'd also get him to sit and then praise him for being so good. All the while with my back to the other dog, blocking my dog's sight of it. This works well and is not traumatic. [/quote] You aren't rewarding bad behavior..you are changing how he feels about his trigger from negative to positive. Ooh I get really good treats when I see this dog! But he goes away the treats go away. Maybe he isn't so bad after all! It's called counter conditioning. Perhaps with a trainer ypu can work with your neighbor/dog so he can learn how to ignore![/quote]
