[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 62673, member: 337"] Royce takes ass-chewings to heart too. We try hard to use a positive reinforcement approach with lots of praise and encouragement. On the negative reinforcement side we take a more passive approach. Example: IF he ever "takes off" with the ball or tries to make us run after him for the bumber, with gloves (he LOVES to rip gloves off) the game is instantly over, into the house we go, and he gets the cold shoulder for about an hour. As a result his playing "keep away" from us with anything doesn't even cross his mind cuz it has always been a bummer and has gotten him shunned by the pack. Example: We call him in to the house and he comes running for the door? Well then he gets a hearty GOOD BOY and petting! We call him and he doesn't? We keep calling and when he finally does show up again it's the silent treatment, glare, cold shoulder, maybe even a low unhappy "what was [B]that [/B]Royce?". That way when we call he [B]wants [/B]to get home soon cuz it'll be happy times - he doesn't want cold shoulder shunning treatment. But he's never "afraid" to come home cuz he's worried he'll get whacked or screamed at. In thinking about it I guess we use the Hutterite society's peer pressure dog training approach. Ha ha.
