With the new kitten in the house we decided to get a new training tool for Ada in the form of a manual shock coller. It is like the one Brian had for Brody but this one seems easy to work. We had it on the lowest possible setting and Ada gave a small yelp the first time Greyson used it. She is pretty wimpy. We got it for training her not to attack cats but she has been so good about Miles that she doesn't get much correcting about him. However we did have a good training session over a piece of jerky I left on the table. She would slowly go in for the jerky, I would zap her right before she got to it and she would step back. We repeated this process about 5 times until she finally gave up. What is nice is that she doesn't know that we humans are the cause of her pain.
So Lindy be warned. There will be no more running through my flower beds anymore. If she can't get the concept of "get out of the flower beds" we will have to get strick with her. We have our tools and we aren't afraid to use them. Some may think it is cruel but I am finding that for some things it is the only way that works.
