Dog B.O.N.E.S.

I recently moved into a new community and everyone wanted to check out the new puppy Truffles. When we got to the dog park, several dogs came to the fence and were aggressive. One of the things I noticed is that no one had treats to reward their dog with good behaviors.   One dog owner said that his dog was “gate aggressive.” I asked him where the treats were to give to his dog. He stated he did not want to reward bad behavior. I agreed but stated when the dog moved from the fence and gave him the behavior he wanted, he then could give the dog a treat. He agreed. Please bring the treats and reward the behavior you want your dog to have. This is basic 101 dog training! * Gate aggression is also called barrier aggression. When this happens and your dog is leashed. Move the dog from the gate and when the dog calms down. Reward and tell the dog they are good. This lets your dog know that you like their behavior.  *Truffles did not like the treats I provided on the walk that day. He
