"distraction training"
we're supposed to do "distraction training" with the invisible fence. the
idea being that we toss a ball or something to the other side of the fence, with the dog on a leash, and make sure they don't bolt through the fence after it. ok, no problem. but how do you really know how they'll respond off leash? apparently, you throw a deer at them. yesterday, i had just let Manu outside, when i realized there was a very frightened doe standing in the middle of the yard, staring at me. Manu noticed her quickly, and took off. i've NEVER seen him run like that. apparently deer make for great exercise! anyway, the deer bounded through the yard and into the neighbor's field (she obviously hasn't met their GSD), and Manu stopped well before the fence. he then sniffed along the fence boundry for a bit, then turned around and ran back inside. so now we know. Manu can be trusted not to leave the yard. i don't think i'll try this test with Lola. -kelly -- not an EXPERT but i think my dogs are cuter than yours!. here's Lola: http://groups.msn.com/culprit/lola.msnw and here's Manu: http://groups.msn.com/culprit/manu.msnw no titles, no ribbons, no certificates, but they're a joy to live with, so who cares. |
