In the grounding article, it states to have the dog on leash with you wherever you go to show him you're his leader. What if we're having trouble being
apart? I'm trying to ground him, but I think putting him with me all of the time is exactly what he wants. He HATES not being able to come with me
everywhere. We're having trouble breaking his barking and whining when he has to be by himself.

Thank you SO MUCH, Sarah!
Our Kenny is a Very Smart Puppy, and grounding is helping him learn to be a Polite Smart Puppy!

The link to the "You're Grounded" article is broken; is that for a reason or was it accidental? I found it cached using Google but wondered why
it's no longer available under this thread!

The article is still here. Sarah made some changes to the website format recently, and the link may have changed. Here's the current one---

I'm so glad that I have found this site. My husband and I were (are) beginning to think that we are making huge mistakes with our 18 week old english
mastiff puppy, who seems to have regressed in the training department. I often want to cuddle up to him when he is laying down, sleeping on his blanket and I
now understand why this is a No-No. looks like we have to learn what NO means also. The past few days have left us feeling a bit lost for what to do about some
of his behaviors, such as lunging at us to nip and he has started to bark at us when we tell him "NO". I think we need to establish boundies and
rules, though we thought we had, but he just refuses to listen. He begins his puppy training on Jan 5. We can get him to sit most times, other times he
won't listen. He will lay down for a treat, go into his crate for a treat, give us his paw as soon as he sees us when we come in from work, but it looks
like we have loads more work to do with him. I forgot how we made it through with our previous dog 10 years ago. Though, he was far from excellent in his
manners. I think we will be using this site as a resource from here on out. It's the best site that I have come across yet and I have been searching all
day long.
Thanks.

Welcome! I agree, this is the best dog training site out there, and a great community of people, as well.
You are very smart to be so proactive with
training your dog, since he is a giant breed. The earlier he learns his manners and how to behave, the better off you will all be!
I hope you post some photos in Daily Dog. We love to see puppy pictures!!

soft light. On her finger was Nenya, the ring wrought of mithril, that bore a single white stone flickering like a frosty star.

Welcome! I agree with shelter, lets see some pics of the handsome guy in Daily Dog! Good luck with him, I've found this site so helpful and I'm betting
you will too.

Grounding Maia | #35 | ||

Hi Sarah,
I have just moved and Maia is out of control... She was used to having a fenced yard, but now is on a run... But lately, before I can get her hooked, she bolts and will NOT come when I call her... She chases squirrels, barks at the neighbors dogs, does a happy dance with the neighbors' kids and runs through every mud puddle she can find with wild abandon... I really don't like her right now... She doesn't come back until about an hour later, covered in mud, the other day after I had just spent $65.00 on a trip to the groomer. I want to be able to open the door and even walk to the car with her without her darting off and resent that I have to go backwards and put her on a lead... She's a smartie and really knows better... I am grounding her, but any specific advise for the bolting? She is possessed... When we pull into the driveway, she starts scanning the area for birds and squirrels, etc... before she's even out of the car! Hope you're well. Tracy |

Put her on the leash when you take her out of the house.
It is no more a step backward than it is to put on your seatbelt before you start the car. It is simple safety. |

I obviously have her on a leash when I go out now, but how do I stop the bolting behavior?

Put leash on dog.
Open door. Walk dog to tie out. Clip dog to tie out before you remove leash. Reverse to bring dog in. If she is bolting out the door when you are not intending to take her out, look up "door chores" in MSP. |

I am apparently not making myself clear... I am no longer allowing her to bolt because she is on a leash and obviously CAN'T... However, I want to stop her
from doing it, so I can eventually have her off leash...
And please be nice, OK? No need for the abrupt replies... |

I probably should remember, but what breed or mix is Maia?
I am not a trainer. kchriste is, and I'm sure others will be along. I wouldn't trust my two not to bolt when they see squirrels, deer, other dogs, kids, etc. Mine have a pretty decent recall, but it's not proofed with that many/types of distractions. Some dogs are trained to where they're totally dependable off leash. Mine are not, and at 9 years old, I'm not betting that they ever will be. My house is set back from an extremely busy highway, so having them off leash, even though I have acres of woods, just isn't an option for me, except in the fenced back yard. The life expectancy of dogs who cross that highway isn't long, and I don't want to bet their lives on it. I used to let Chester run from the car to the fenced in yard off leash when we returned from the park. Then he started taking laps of the yard and through part of the woods before going through the gate, so that stopped. This is probably a long-winded way of saying that I'm not sure you can teach her not to bolt, especially now that she's found out how much fun it is. Let's see--should I walk along with Mom and get clipped to the tie-out, where there's NOTHING to do, or should I check out the squirrels, kids, dogs, and puddles? I'm afraid if I were Maia, that would be a no-brainer. How can you make not bolting more rewarding than bolting?
