TPW troll posts.
Subject: TPW troll posts.
From: shelly Date: Tue, Sep 9, 2003 8:06 AM Message-id: .net On Mon, 9 Sep 2003, Kind2dogs wrote: Yeah, no petting or loving until they go thru all the motions. i think you're referring to strict NILIF, Yes I am, and believe me I have had MANY dogs here that were given up to me as they got more aggressive on it. which is not (i hope) what Leah recommends. Me either. she should probably make that clear to her students. strict NILIF involves long periods of crating and is, i think, geared toward dogs with serious behavioral problems. And IMO it makes it much worse at least for Chessies. modified NILIF, which is what i use, just means that my dogs sing for their supper. they have to work for meals, treats, toys, etc. Wel perhaps I am a pushover then. Just call me a doggie doormat. i've found that it's especially beneficial to my Boxer, who is hard-headed, bossy, and has temperament issues. Whatever works for you. I'm not sure if you know Chessies at all? A VERY serious type of dog. i think modified NILIF is a good way to get her attention and reinforce that she's not the boss of me *without* engaging in silly power struggles. No power struggles amongst my pack or crew,, as I am THE QUEEN, or THE GENERAL. : ) Paulette~ Paulette~ |
