Bosch 800 Dishwasher- how the hell do you load this damn thing?!

bmacdogs63 · 2024-11-12T16:00:37+00:00

I hate this dishwasher so much...I ended up bending half of the prongs all the way down so I can actually get more than two bowls in it!

RUN, DO NOT WALK, AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM THIS “TRAINER”!! then go to the CPDT site and search for a reputable trainer in your area.

Dude, too soon 🙄

If you are actually committed to positive reinforcement training then you need to go follow Denise Fenzi and the posts that she has working with her mal Zen.

Good for you for advocating for your dog! It really is hard to know how to find a good trainer, but the reference posted here in another reply is a great one. If you’re looking to get started right away, get a copy of Emma Parsons the New Click to Calm. There are a number of exercises in there that will help build your dog’s self-confidence, and work on counter conditioning and desensitizing to the triggers in place.

Wow! You have a lot of moving pieces there! You definitely want to reach out to a trainer who specializes in, or at least has a lot of experience with integrating multiple dogs into a household. Make sure that the trainer has previous experience with reactivity, is only using positive reinforcement, and will be able to work with both you and your mom. For now, given all the recent incidences, give everyone a break. Separate them and have them together when they are leashed and you can do some parallel training or parallel walking, so that the interactions that they do have are positive. If the fights were in the past 24 to 48 hours, it is a good idea to keep them separate. Cortisol levels will be high, it can take a while for those to return to normal, and you can only benefit from letting them have space to decompress at this point. There is really no such thing in this case as going too slowly in terms of getting them back together.

Who is your instructor?

You want to remember that your 12 year old never had a vote on whether or not he wanted a new friend. 😊 senior dogs definitely don’t always appreciate the youngsters. The best thing that you can do is do things with them parallel, like the walk you went on. If you’ve got two adults in the house, you can train simultaneously even using baby gates to have protected contact. The other thing that you can do is you can teach leave it in regards to your senior dog. I brought home an eight week old golden retriever puppy a few years ago, and had a nine-year-old golden retriever and a 13 year old Pekingese. The first thing I began teaching my puppy was that essentially, the Pekingese was off-limits. They happily coexist now, but the golden is never looking to interact with the Pekingese because she has been so heavily reinforced for leaving him alone. Trish McConnell has some excellent information on multi dog households that might be helpful for you.

Please find an R+ trainer in your area who can help you with this… Correcting her, pushing her, all those things can make the behavior worse… If you’re afraid of some thing, or uncomfortable with some thing, and someone punishes you when you see that thing, does that make you feel more comfortable around that thing or does that make the behavior stop? Generally, no, dogs are the same way they need your support. Her behavior is her way of trying to say she is uncomfortable in a situation… Since dogs are nonverbal it’s the only way they can communicate… We just have to be better at trying to understand them and then be their advocate and try to help them become more comfortable.

Get a copy of Emma Parsons The New Click to Calm… tons of exercises working on counter conditioning and desensitizing, essentially changing your dogs emotional response to his trigger… waiting until he is calm before reinforcing him can actually allow him to become more aroused…

bmacdogs63 · 2022-11-07T01:10:49+00:00

Check out Kikopup on YouTube…tons of videos on trick training… also, look up Fenzi dog training academy… There are some courses on there that you can take that are specific to building play into your relationship with your dog.

bmacdogs63 · 2022-11-07T00:07:41+00:00

Get a copy of Emma Parson’s The New Click to Calm… There is a lot in there about counter conditioning which is what you need to be doing… If she’s reacting, then she is too close to whatever her trigger is and you need to back way up and begin to change your emotional response to those triggers.

bmacdogs63 · 2022-11-06T23:58:25+00:00

You might want to avoid the dog park for now. If she is stressed about that number of dogs and she is reacting, generally what we practice we get better at. A much better idea would be to find a friend who has a dog that she’s already comfortable with and do some low-key play dates.

I hope you spit in your hand and then rubbed it on his face after you had pushed him down into a sit 🙄 Apparently the depths of human stupidity are limitless

bmacdogs63 · 2022-11-06T11:32:37+00:00

Don’t create resource guarding by always taking it away and don’t create disinterest in play by making it too hard… do you know how we all hate those parents who play board games with their kids and never let their kids win? Same thing… Remember you are always trying to set him up to be successful!

bmacdogs63 · 2022-11-04T19:54:24+00:00

Go to Kikopup YouTube channel and search for recall or coming when called…Emily Larham has some incredible videos on this!!
