More door bell training this evening. Tried it by surprise the first time and he barked. "NO" Second time, he barked. "NO" Third time, he barked. "NO". Fourth time, he didn't bark. Success? No, just a smart dog. I paused between the third and fourth to put the pinch collar on. He knew not to bark then. :-)
We had one success later - Buddy was lying in his crate and I rang the doorbell. Nothing!! Not a sound. He did hear it because he came walking to the door. Much praise was provided. Keep your fingers crossed.
Buddy is also learning to stay away from us when we exercise on the treadmill or bicycle. Nothing painful yet and we are trying to keep it that way for his benefit and ours.
