Anyway, I just had to comment on this because there was a dog who I was training at GDA who had to be dropped because she had a fear of walking through tight spaces. However, she had a reason that she was afraid of them, and she couldn't get over the incident. What you described Truffle doing (the whole tucking the butt at the end, or rushing through it) was exactly what this dog would do. <br /><br />I would suggest helping her out with this. Of course, she is in training for a different guide dog school and I don't want to step on their toes. However, in my experience, issues like this usually get worse. So why not fix it when she's still relatively young?

She should be and I don't think she should be doing the intelligent disobedience seeing as her going through a small space isn't dangerous. But I think it's good for her later on in her career because she already knows that she can't take a person through that narrow of a space. :) But I would still make sure she's comfortable with it.Raiser Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15290705558126751663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9184136459153247410.post-87199175006561475682010-11-16T10:44:19.361-08:002010-11-16T10:44:19.361-08:00You're talking to the wrong doggie.

Now PeeWee is a fool who will jump first and ask questions later. Who can tell?<br /><br />Anyway, as far as training goes, momma usually ignores me even when I howl and cry and get pathetic and eventually I figure it out (but sometimes not and then she can't stand it and helps me by removing the monster)<br /><br />Slobbers,<br />MangoDexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238751458587219022noreply@blogger.com
