Coz once it scares her, it will take months to re-teach her to carry & fetch things again. It's the same for agility. If a dog slips & falls off the dog walk for example, it will take more than month to regain its confidence.<BR/><BR/>Love licks,<BR/>Solid Gold DancerAmber-Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16183603626694384497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408245825207444411.post-36426544837040266112007-09-18T16:33:00.000-05:002007-09-18T16:33:00.000-05:00I hope I'm not confusing Belle by adding a handle....I hope I'm not confusing Belle by adding a handle. Most bowls come handle-less. I tried the duct tape method that you suggested and it worked for a while, but she still didn't like it when she dropped it. When Cody chewed half the duct tape off, I decided to try a different approach.Speak(er)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00739156252885244499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408245825207444411.post-15362483576156234962007-09-18T14:37:00.000-05:002007-09-18T14:37:00.000-05:00Lu,It is interesting.

Jack loved the sound and would bring his dish whenever he wanted to get me off the couch and do some training. The more noise it made the better. Tess was much like Belle. The sound from the dropping dish really irritated her. If she dropped the dish she would give up. <BR/><BR/>I have not started working on it with Beckham yet - perhaps I should.<BR/><BR/>LoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
