Nice to hear from you.
Kn...Hi, SummerInSingapore,<br /><br />Nice to hear from you.<br /><br />Knowing Summer as I do, I'm not surprised that she does the zoomies and/or runs at you then veers off.<br /><br />I think there might be a simple solution: when you see that look come over her and you know she's going to run after you if you dash away, do that and when she gets close enough, but before she veers off (in other words, when the drive to connect is still strong enough), fall down and cry out, "Oh, no! You got me! You killed me! You're the king dog!"<br /><br />Try that and see what develops. You can also do a modified version indoors, where you get down on your hands and knees, bat at her with your "paws," growling and saying, "I'm gonna getcha! What're you gonna do? I'm gonna getcha!"<br /><br />Then roll over on your back and use the "Oh, no! You got me! You're the king dog!" thing and see what happens.<br /><br />If she zips off to grab a toy it means that you didn't "set the hook" deeply enough before you rolled over.<br /><br />LCKLCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182376640295763312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164371574062741084.post-26597954017055189372009-05-05T09:00:00.000-07:002009-05-05T09:00:00.000-07:00Argh! OK so I've been doing it with TOO MUCH ENERG...Argh! OK so I've been doing it with TOO MUCH ENERGY...... Help! I've been doing this more with Summer now that we're in Singapore. There are virtually no dogs to play with here. we're on our own. It's funny, she has two doggy friends we run into every now and then, but even then she'll play a little but is less interested these days. So to compensate, I play a game with her when we walk through the park (offleash, illegally, but no one says anything). She likes to roll on the grassy bits here in SG (heat relief I suspect) and when she does, she gets a little nutty. So I often encourage her and turn and do the frankenstein thing, and on occasion she'll run at me, but only when I say Summer come, and otherwise she does the zoomie thing. I'm not sure how to tune it down to get her to run at me without giving her the recall cue... Other times I dart AWAY from her and this gives her the impetus to chase me. But again, she never runs and jumps on me, she'll run then at the last min, veer off to avoid crashing into me. At home we play hide and seek (OK OK I know, I shouldn't be playing at home... but it's so hot here that I sometimes have to limit her outdoor time but don't want to shortchange her on activity time...). At home, she'll run and jump on me, especially since I've started the game where I put her in a stay in the living room, then run into the bedroom, recall her and she jumps on the bed and "attacks" me... Perhaps more pushing exercises outdoors? Go back to the basics?summerinbrooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287356609087247706noreply@blogger.com
