BKL, thanks but I think I'm on the right track. It's sorta somethingI have to figure out on my own. It's learning totruely read my dog andto figure out whatto train orin this case what not to. Plus, I like to think. Like now, I'm thinking my dog is much smarter than I gave her credit for.

Inow believe faults were made in training by me. And I tried to figure out which ones and why. I didn't recognize what my dog was doing. I thinkherreluctancefor training is her both her cop-out and her boredom. I believe dogs can't tellhow much time has passed in the Now. They can tell when, ie. a certain time everyday by routine, but not 'its been 15 mins'. So, she's been doing things by rote including briefly woahing then breaking. She didn't care since there was no painor that I wasconstantly lifting her back or saying louder woahs. That was her routine. Her cop-out.

I rememberas a pupwas always sticking her nose in what I was doing.She would stick her noseinto everything I did. Like an inquisitive 2yr old child asking what am I doing every minute. Now, ifit doesn't concern her then she'll tune me out. Just like in her training. Praise wasn't working with her since I'm always playing and laughing with her (she's my buddy).

Hmmm..I guess I should have put the collar on her belly.

Well, if this is true then any training should go muchfaster once I'm able toincorporate some kind of stimulus into what I want her to learn.
