About Me:

Bettie Blue is my very first dog. Luckily a friend has a Victorian Bulldog cross who is the same age so they play lots. Spend a lot of time (trying) to train her and the next round of training starts Wednesday 21st May! Am an Arsenal season ticket holder and love going to the games. Am bringing Bettie to Ireland to visit my Dad in the summer, unfortnately he has just got a lovely new leather sofa!!!

Hi
Thanks for requesting me as a friend, Dray is a lovely looking dog. Good luck with the obedience training - I can't even do the basic Kennel Club good citizen test as Bettie won't give her toys back on command!!! Any advice greatly accepted!!

Natalie

Find Bettie's most fav treat in the whole world...
Put it in your pocket and when you have finished playing with her offer her the treat as an exchange for the toy. When you offer her the treat use a command like'give' so that she associates the word with giving up the toy and recieving a treat. give the 'give' command as soon as she exchanges the treat for the toy, not before or after as she will become confused as to what it means.
Once she is doing that easily start cutting out the treats slowly, instead of giving her one every time give it to her two times out of three. When you don't give her a treat give her lots of pats and praise instead. Slowly reduce the treats to none or the occasional one.
It will take a while but it will eventually work.
The treat HAS to me MORE interesting than the toy for it to work tho.
Dray loves liver treats and small bits of kabana and cheese, just be careful using people food tho as you may find yourself munching as well

hope this helps a little.
Take care and keep n touch.

Hi, have just come back from being out with Bettie and she was playing with a staffie cross, a lab, a german shephard and a jack russell. It was the first time she came back to me when I called her so that is a bit of an improvement!

Debi

Thanks for leaving me the message, I have worked out how to fill out my profile so have added more information and have put some photos of Bettie up on the site but don't know where they have been saved! Am looking forward to learning lots from experienced owners as Bettie is my first dog!

Natalie, Bettie is gorgeous, we tried training with Bullit but it was too structured for him he was bored he used to work around with his head down, so now we just take him to the park for 2 hours to run and have fun with his doggy friends, great socialiation and great exercise who needs training classes. Luna is only 9 weeks old so she got some catching up to do when she gets to the park. Speak soon Debi

I look forward to hearing from you Natalie and if I can help in any way im more than happy. You wouldnt ask for my advice if you seen me and Lilia tonight - she was a nightmare, digging up the garden, biting my shoes, generally misbehaving! Thankfully shes not like that ALL the time! Di
