di59louie Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 First I want to thank everyone who responded with their valuable suggetsions re: calming my B.C. prior to our run in the woods. I went out this morning with him and before we started running on the trails I had him sit and wait for a few seconds; we started up this hill and if he made the attempt to jump up I had him sit by me again; I did this every time he wanted to jump up on me and possibly nip me; although, it sacrified my run, I continued to do this throughout the run - it took really only a few times before he "got it" - these B.C.'s are sooo smart... - it worked like a charm and not once did he nip me. It was so pleasurable to run with him for 1.5hours with out this annoying behavior. I will continue to do this every single time. I am hoping this will work all of the time with or without people with me. Thank you to all your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc1963 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I just realized that F/U stands for "follow-up." Thought at first it stood for something else... Good to hear that it worked. Congratulations! Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Beer Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Great news! I would expect that over time, you will need to do less and less of the stopping to have him sit, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
