Alright guys i'm back with another question lol. I wrote last week about Lacey's fit that she had with my dad where he reached over me to pet her she was completely submissive licked his hand then lunged and barked at him, i caught her in mid air, but now from what my dad told me she never showed teeth.
anyway, so I've been doing the NILIF training with her and i have noticed a difference in her response to me, when we go for walks she sits for me to put her harness on, now i dont even need to tell her to sit i ask if she wants to go outside she goes straight to the door and sits and waits.
she wont get on the bed until i tell her to and she sits first, same with food, treats and toys.
now my question is how do i know that this will stop her from doing that again? She's been back to my house around my dad and shes been fine (i've kept the leash on her while at my house now) BUT it hasnt been the same situation. I'm nervous for anyone to reach over me to touch her, im nervous itll happen again so i dont really know what to do.
this is a side note but she HATES water, we tried to give her a bath and i thought she was going to choke herself to death because we had her tied to a pole in the back with a 6 ft leash and a kiddie pool, i tried to just pour the water on her back with a cup and that didnt work either, we got that waterless bath stuff after that because i dont want to stress her out, anyone else have any advice on what to do with that or has this happened with anyone?
Also, what are some good leash exercises for them? we dont have a fenced in yard and shes not a dog park type dog, she goes on her walks every day but I know she still needs to get that energy out so it doesnt turn into aggression
sorry this post was kind of all over the place lol
thanks again guys!
