The only thing that I saw that may have been left out or emphasized was the need for consistency in reward/consequence so that the student/pet/whatever develops an association of the action with the reward/consequence, etc. If I recall correctly... that is called a schema but it has been a few years so don't hold me to that.

Ok if Kinzyl comes yeah yea haw make a big deal give treats. If she sees something and runs into the woods but comes back after I have to go on a safari for about 20 feet. Then ???? I have taken the leash and put her straight on it and walked to the porch without a word. Am I asking the right way. Plus my husband works 70 hours week spends 1 hour a day with her and he can call her one time and she comes. I try to get my voice as low, do the same thing, Nothing. I have never had luck with animals, kids, husbands coming when I call. Remember explain in really simple terms. I am trying to learn the abbreviations.

With Milo I do some things different then before...
Since I have him,the HIER command is his favorite one.
Why?Because he gets one meal every single day since I have him outside,with people,dogs around.
His food drive is excellent,so I'm using it.
And that means he has to work for every single piece of kibble,or now hot dog for training,if he wants to eat.
Now I can call him in with distractions around he flies like a bird,because it was always a good experience to him.And with this exercise he's already trained for the front sit also.
I try to upload a video I took of him...Turn down the sound,my voice is annoying for people... dogs love it though!

Have you thought about a martingale collar? If she acts like she's been abused, I would go throwing a prong collar on her...Also, have you thought about formal obedience training?

I switch out and use the prong collar to see if that makes a difference on our walks. She doesn't pull but I did the manners on a leash in less than 15 minutes. Don't know if I did it right but we have been working on it.
About the formal obedience. Right now money is so tight. That is why I am having to look for a part time job. With my medical condition it is hard to find something. We took Gotty to some people when he was a puppy and that is when we showed him. They were not exactly what I would say very professional.
I guess I am not having enough confidence in me and not giving her enough credit for how far she has come. I guess I need to just tell myself that I am doing good by her and be patient. Work on things everyday and in time it will come. Thank yall for being so patient and answering all my questions.
