[QUOTE="angie1, post: 671175, member: 3886"] A couple of them needed 2 swats ~ the other two got it the first time. Now they all respond instantly to, as you say, a firm "[i][u]no[/u][/i]". All the rest of their learning at this age is play based, positive and fun. They are potty trained, and getting used to collars and car rides (I am starting to take 2 at a time in the car with me if I am just running to town quick ~ trying to teach them to stay on the floor on the passenger side, if the next owner wants different then that is ok). They are coming into a rapid concrete learning stage, and I want to do the right things. Their father is an outstanding cattle dog, but can herd anything well (will carefully gather chickens into the coop for example). Mine works very well with goats and horses. She is intimidated by cattle that turn back on her ~ though that was getting less at last attempt. Dogs are only as smart as their owners, I am sure she would do very well if only I knew more. Anyhow, want to get these guys off on the right foot. Thank you for your helpful advice! :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
