I think your methods and philosophy (what can be seen from your website) are top notch. I will have to come see you guys in NY as I have been looking for a balance between the gamey hyperactive training I see in french ring, and the other methods like Koehler.

@rbaid161 Dogs don’t eat when they are stressed. So she could be stressed out. I would try taking her to those places and just walking, not training. Getting her used to different environments is the first step. Then you can start the real training.

Hm that could very well be.. Does she have a favorite toy, or bed at home? If so take that to a park or sidewalk to help make it more “Homey”. If she still doesn’t eat the treats, maybe its not stress, but something medical..?

Nice work. Though I personally would have dealt with the food aggression differently. Your methods still worked.

Its nice to see a nice balanced training.

I agree that too many dogs are put down due to aggression, though not all people have the skills, or money to get the dog properly trained.

More then likely she is; but, I’ve been taking her out in public places to go for a walk for the past couple of years now (Going out a couple of times a week—or sometimes once a week or every other couple of weeks) and still won’t accept treats. If she does, it is very rare. And she won’t eat it unless she’s back in the car. So I do just walk her in those places, and don’t really worry about training her; so maybe she’s just too old, and wants to stay home now.
