Pigeon = Treat
Posted on August 14, 2008
we did all this training to desensitize liame to other dogs but entirely forgot to desensitize him to the pigeons in downtown seattle. these arent your normal everyday birds that wont even get within 25 feet of you when you are walking with a dog, nooooooo these are seattle pigeons, birds that dont, make that WONT, move until the very last second, which would have been fine if i would have trained him while he was a little puppy that pigeons = treats from mommy but i didnt. so now, every time we see a pigeon, liames pray drive kicks in and he ends up yanking me around downtown. i was hoping i wouldnt have to keep wearing my training belt anymore but now i can see we have a lot of pigeon counter conditioning and desensitization to do. pigeon = treat, pigeon = treat, pigeon = treat for the next several months. argh.
