I’m the worst… I was planning to post and link up, and then somehow the week (?) just got away from me. I’ll choose to blame the Super Bowl, some allergies, and my own lack of planning. Sorry! I did enjoy reading everyone else’s posts though. 🙂

P.S. Although I didn’t manage to post, Bella and I did work on trying to get her to hate having her teeth brushed (that’s what I was going to post about). We’re making progress. 🙂

I’m sure I commented on this post a few days ago but knowing me I started one and got sidetracked! I wondered what Honey is like being covered with a blanket? Perhaps she is claustrophobic? It’s great that she is getting a little less fearful of the cart. There is light at the end of the tunnel:) There will be great celebrating in Pet Blogville when she does get in the cart:)

Clicker shaping is so great–congrats on all your progress! I didn’t take your particular challenge, but every month is dog training challenge month for us:) We’ve been having some nice successes with leash walks and TTouch.

That is really cool and as long as she is making progress, that is great. I had big plans to join the challenge and work on Kelly’s issues with our mailman (who I’ve dubbed Grouchy Mailman) but my husband’s hospitalization precluded any training time, so I didn’t get to do it yet. I’ll still work on it, I promise! Maybe Honey can ride over in her bike cart thing and deliver the mail. Kelly might be happy about that!

Honey will get there – I have faith in you and her! Slow and slower – tough to do and suddenly, one day, POOF! she’ll be in the cart and riding along no prob. :).

Great job so far! I’d love to offer you some tips. Forget about the cart for now and teach Honey “Place”. Place means for her to go to and stay on anything you are telling her. And you can have 100 “Places”! Start with her bed (even if she knows that word change it to place for now). You can still use the clicker. Then move to a blanket or area rug. Try a tree stump, the back of the car, a park bench or the scale at the vets. Once she understands the word place and will get up on or anything you ask she will then go IN anything you ask. It overrides her fear when you develop a language with her. All of a sudden she’ll realize “AH! You want me to go IN there!”. Ta-da!
Keep us posted!
