Door bell rings = Tony goes nuts. I don't get that many people coming to my door so we don't get much practice. Today I discovered a new approach to the door issue - my trusty squirt water bottle. Door bell rang, Tony goes nuts, I give command, Tony maintains the high level of alert, Tony gets a little squirt from the bottle. It worked! Treats did not because of the high level of alert but the little shot from the bottle broke his concentration so he could listen to me. Let's hope this will work because it is a great tool. Allows me to effectively address his bad habit.
I so wished I could have taken Molly and Tony to Midday Madness, maybe next year.
