update on pepper's behaviour!!!
« on: September 18, 2011, 04:10:50 PM »
I have asked twice about his behaviour recently which has been a lot more demanding and "teenage" . interestingly the more positive approaches suggested have definitely helped. I think we were just becoming more and more confrontational with him. Now , for example, if he gets on the chair I put a treat on the floor and give lots of fuss when he gets off. Today he just jumped off as soon as I asked.I have done the same with getting in and out of the car. Thanks a lot for all the help......I do realise that this is not the end of the road but we are all a lot happier for now!

What would we do without the treat!  These cockers seem to do anything for a bit of food :D

Exactly - though how many of us would go out to work if we didn't get paid...  :shades:

As humans we really only do things that are rewarding for us in some way... dogs are just the same!  :D
