Thanks a lot. I'll try it. I guess I still have a lot to learn, but I guess I learn as I try new things on different dogs. I love working with Jo, and training her to do new things, while having fun at the same time. Earlier today, someone came to the door, and she barked, I told her No, and was gonna put her in her chair and ignore her, when I thought of what you said. I told her to come instead, and I grabbed a raggy towel and tried to get her to play so she'd ignore the noise. At 1st she just wanted into the kitchen, but then she started to play, and I told her how good she was for not barking anymore..I'm not sure if thats the same thing..if she doesn't hear it there, how will she know not to bark next time? Is that right what I did to help her learn?? Thanks again
