Springer Dog Bike

Dear Adam:

My Springer Spaniel got a little stronger in order to come when she knows that it means "Get in the kennel. At night, she goes to between nine and ten. And as the clock work, she woke up at 2:00. I'm sure I've started a bad habit, but I am afraid that the neighbors are upset. It digs once or twice a week during the day. It's like she goes into panic after 4-5 hours in the kennel.

Thank you,
Tail

Dear Dick:

1. Go to her and to come when you call if you do not see that it moves to respond within 1 / 2 second of your order. But personally, I like to use a specific command such as, "Get in the kennel. If it does not immediately move to the kennel, I'll go look and promenade in the kennel. If you wait for see if it will respond, then she will wait to see if you are going to do. (That is, until the behavior has become a conditioned reflex.)

When you say kennel, you will hear a case - for the night, right? If not, then that's where she should be sleeping at night. Put it in the cage, then give him a cookie. This will strengthen the credit union is a positive thing.

2. To the outside kennel, buy equipment mesh or chicken wire and put it under the term kennel together, then put about an inch of soil on top of that. The dogs do not dig claws and cons of such material.

3. Increasing your exercise regimen. Buy yourself a bike and take it for a 2 mile run each day. It's good for you too ... and it will do wonders in reducing the annoyance of your dog.

That's all for now people!
