CR, Mystic is really pushing your buttons and I agree that it is self rewarding. The part where you lured her into the crate with treats is a big no-no. Either put a pull tab on her or a leash and give her a very strong correction if she refuses the command "crate" or whatever you use. She needs a good correction so the next time you say crate, she will run her ass in there and lay down without even thinking otherwise. At this stage you have to be firm and let her know she cannot get away with any disobedience. I know it sounds harsh and I know it's not easy to give a hard correction to the dog you love, but it's for the best. You need to regain control and let her know you run this house.

I would crate her every chance you can't supervise her. Restricting her freedom when you're not there is the only way you know for sure she won't get in the garbage. The part where she goes for the garbage when you are around, well just hide the garbage can or catch her quick enough to correct her. The only way to extinguish behaviors is to set her up and correct her for making the wrong choice. Train and retrain the leave it. The important thing is to be consistent and try your best to not allow her to access the trash.

It sounds like your pissed when your doing this so she more than likely knows that and is feeding off it...

This is totally Denna!

If we get mad, we get animated... she LOVES animated! That's EXCITING!!! Yeah! Get mad!!! Chase me!!! WhooHoooo!!!!! GAME ON!!!!

Check with your states department of natural Resources and see if they have any surplus bear proof garbage containers
You could pretend you are in Yosemite!!

She has known the crate command since about 15 weeks of age. I am beyond pissed with her behavior. How do you suggest I correct her?

HAHAHA thanks Josh and AB!!

If I've taught a dog a command and I'm certain they know it 100% they've got about 2 1/2 seconds and I will correct them.

It sounds like your pissed when your doing this so she more than likely knows that and is feeding off it or she's testing you (no way to tell without seeing it in person). So if it's she's feeding off your anger you gotta get that in check, she shouldn't be in the trash can but at the same time that's pretty rewarding for her so your at fault.

Like AB did though I really just wanted to post pictures because if you do nothing.. I'm sure we will have some good post to read :razzberry:

Surprised you haven't lamped her yet.

She wears a martingale as an everyday collar but she can sometimes slip out of it. What kind of correction do you recommend?

Most of the garbage BS is at night. She has some how learned to knock the baby gate down. From tonight on I am crating her for the night until she can prove that she can behave.

ROTFF!!! Hell I never thought about that. Payback is a bitch right? Lets see how she likes two black eyes and a sore nose for a month. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Leave a prong collar and a pull tab or leash on her when she is allowed to roam. A prong collar will allow you to give a good correction (a quick jerk and release) with less force than a martingale allows you to. The lamping is not a bad idea lol. Give her a verbal warning first (she how she responds) and then a correction. Do this when you see her even looking at the garbage can. Keep doing this until she understands it's not acceptable. How quickly she responds will depend on the timing and level of your correction.

Maybe you can try leaving empty garbage cans out. That way there's nothing fun about the trashcans. You can also lay down like those vinyl carpet runner sheets on the ground with pokey side up around the garbage area. Hopefully it will be uncomfortable enough to deter her. I know they have shocking mats too for training purposes lol. If you want that I can look it up, but I think those are expensive. Just throwing some random ideas out there.

Send her to Dallas. I can drive to Southern Illinois and back in one day.

 

[dpenning]

I actually have a few of those and they work great. If you want to try on CR send me a PM with your addy and I can send you one. I used them to keep the dogs off the carpet, now they know their boundaries I don't use them any more. It doesn't take long and it doesn't hurt them. It feels like a static shock if you step on it.

 

[ruthcatrin]

Only leave the prong on her in controled situations, which may mean that she'll learn she can goof off when its not on....

I like the shock mat idea, or upside down plastic office mats.....

 

[taraann81]

No helpful advice, but it did make me giggle. All of my dogs would eat diapers given half a chance... Nasty creatures.

Make it dark rum and you got a deal we dont have an exposed trash basket, but if you get Abby be prepared to lose socks and hosiery, well not lose it but find it pooped out in the yard!

Oh that would be great!!
In the middle of the night you get up barefoot to get a drink of water and Zap!!!
Now you are thirsty and you have peed on the floor!!

 

[joshuagough]

Give her your crate command once and then lure her to the crate with a treat and into the crate with it.. first.. (try this a few times).

Correction method I'd use:
Let her drag her leash and a flat collar is enough, I wouldn't go beyond that given she could be fearful of your poor attitude already (all jokes aside I'd play to her being fearful first). Less is more with pressure, the more I can accomplish with less the more tools I have if they are ever needed and the dog doesn't develop a tolerance.

Use your verbal correction ie: "no" when she lays down (no emotion in your voice just assertive) after you've told her to get in her crate. The first time I would give her your crate command once more ("no" pause a few second then "go to your crate").

After that point, I would give her a verbal "no" followed quickly with a leash correction if she didn't listen, this is a attention getter at this point.. I want her to look to you for direction.

This is a repetitive process, If she were to walk 3 steps then lay back down my correction level goes up.. not my voice the leash correction.

Make sense?
