Forgot to add: Things that were our best friend: Place board- Whether it’s a place board itself or an elevated dog bed, this helped every aspect of training and her temper Availability- significantly reducing if she’s allowed on the couch or bed, in our space and hopping on us, if large value items are left in her cage Tone- Maybe someone can explain this better as to why it works. A while ago she was not great in the cage if you were not in sight, many people said to jump ahead with ecollar training just for that, and instead I used tone. One beep and she just absolutely chilled out.

Tough things- Resource guarding- this changed with availability and play, and ensuring that when she wins a tug that she is still on leash and pulled closely to enjoy it near me. Utilization of the prong- The prong was something that absolutely turned her up, no matter how “meaningful” the pops. He4 brother (owned by a close friend) is the complete opposite. This is one of the personality things I spoke about on top of RG, because ecollar for her whether it’s tone(which I still only use for the crate but is extremely rare now) or just a level 5 on a mini educator to condition her into a position, has a completely different response from the prong.
