Working Fireblazer on her down command. Of course, there's a lot more happening there than just that, as usual. A big piece of what's happening in this lesson is teaching Fireblazer how to respond to stimulation. We are doing this on very, very low levels that most humans can't even detect on their own skin.

Fireblazer can feel it, but it isn't uncomfortable. In the past she has felt a similar sensation from a fencing system. She has also learned that the stim from that system is temporary and she can run away from it. In the past when she has seen a critter she has wound up and chosen to run through it. Which obviously also means she has learned that the stim is temporary and shutting it off has little to do with your behavior other than maybe continuing to move away.

So we have to teach her that this is different. This is 110% tied directly to her behavior and the only way it shuts off is by her following the instruction we give her. This is all initially done on these very gentle levels. Once she understands it, we will have a tool that we can then use in more of an accountability type fashion. But for now it's all rewiring.

There are so many videos like this circulating on social media, and many of them do not end in a dog bite. I'm glad to see one that does because I think most of the people doing things like this do get bit eventually.

The flaw in human thinking is that if a dog hasn't done something before, they won't do it in the future, which is stupid. There's a first time for everything, and this dog is clearly a threat.

When you lose all respect for the animal or you treat it like a human thinking that it places some kind of value on you and loves you like a person and doesn't want to hurt you or hurt your feelings, well, you get bit in the face. And hopefully that wakes you up.

And off we go for the day!

We are looking for local sports events in the Biddeford S**o area over the next few days.

Millie is doing great! But she could use a practice run in this environment before she goes home as this is one of the things her family would like her to be able to do with them.

Let me know what's happening, where, and when!! 🙂

A trip to PetSmart with Dottie.

There were lots of dogs around, and she did really well. Although if my timing had been off this could have looked totally different! So I'm talking about the importance of you giving your dog the feedback early. The information needs to be coming in and it needs to be coming in consistently in a timely fashion. If you wait until your dog is over. Excited to finally start communicating with your ecollar. It's going to be much messier.
