How and when can we back down our even end treat rewards and replace with ‘good girls!’ And petting?

Sorry for the late reply.   Iā€™d start doing some separation games.  Where as you go to the bathroom, or upstairs, or to the mail box……tell her WAIT (not STAY) and give her single finger as the command (see video link).  Walk away and come back to her.  Create a game of her NOT following you.  Do you crate her?  Watch this video:… Read more
