“When things get real hard, I bear down and push through them – no ‘nonsense’ allowed – and my expansive thinking is not as much available to me.
So with my hound suddenly misbehaving – getting food aggressive with the wolf and then bay-screaming in housing tight within community after reexposure to a dog that had in the past attacked her but had been part of our family…
When I was nervous, afraid, and/or insecure as a child, everyone just avoided, hard disciplined, and/or yelled at me.
I am not a natural intuitive when it comes to dog psychology.
And with the hound, giving whining and other associative ‘negative’ behavior ‘good’ attention just seens to reinforce her insecurities.”
