Doggie Assertiveness Training, 2

[ssurgul]

Well, that's another first.  I gave BJ some more bones this morning, these with some beef on them.  Those cheap and cheesey stew bones, for like $.50 for a lb. are GREAT treats.  Anyway, he couldn't quite separate them into components on his own, as he's still having trouble with that due to lack of experience.  So, as I was ready to third them for him, he held his own end of the strip a lot longer than usual and even started doing some light tug-of-war.  Give the dog a chance to actually be a happy dog, and eventually he'll unlearn all the bad and start learning the good things that being a happy and well-loved pooch can yield.
