Count me among the proponents of positive and negative reinforcement. And by negative, I don't mean yelling, screaming, shock collars, etc;
it must be understood that negative reinforcement and negative punishment are two different things. For example, you are out walking your dog and he starts pulling you along. He's anxious to see the world, smell new things ... when you stop, that's negative reinforcement ... he's no longer getting what he wants. When he sits he gets a reward, when he walks w/o pulling he gets reward... he pulls, you stop and that's no fun. Dogs, generally want to please their Owners....get a treat, get a belly rub. They quickly learn that when you're not happy, they don't get what they want.
It can be simple as a glance and body language. When taking dogs out, 1st one that sits down at door goes out. I jut use a pointing gesture to the other one and he leaves. Same for bed and crate. When particularly distracted at door, say If the deer are outside (she can see through 2nd floor window) then we have a 1 syllable word we use that basically says "I'm not happy, and you not getting what you want till I'm happy."
... won't leave door, "Eh" Im not happy" we all just gonna stand here and no one goes out,1st dog is latched on the zip line, 8 seconds later,2nd dog is outside on walking leash
... chewing a shoe, "Eh" Im not happy, I'm taking the shoe, leave it alone and I'll give you this
... jumping on me while, I bring the food "Eh" I'm not happy, you will get your food when you sit down
... pulling on leash, Eh" I'm not happy", sit down ... . oooh new smells, new sights, lots a fun
Easily learned, quick response, especially when used in tandem with immediate positive reward when ceasing. ... The verbal cue can be anything "Drop" works" "Stop works.
Huskies have some notable traits .... while some call it "independence" most Husky owners call it "stubbornness" (google it). Doesn't matter what label you put on it, what it means is they tend to be more resistant to distractions and a verbal cue is highly effective in breaking their focus.
"I' don't care how many treats you have, chasing squirrels is fun ! " The dog will also look at you when hearing the verbal cue. Had it this morning... I'm freezing, she sees a squirrel and no potty action going on ... "Eh", she looks at me, turns back lost sight of squirrel and she has this puzzled look like "what was I just doing, why am I here, Ohh look, my sister just did potty... Oh yeah, I gotta go potty"
a) I have the opposite problem ... they wake me up to get petted. b) Dogs are weird ... I feed the dogs every day at the same time ... new dog will sniff her bowl and old dog will sniff her bowl. Neither will eat until they walk over and sniff the others bowl and it's a toss who eats outta whose bowl. This concerned me for a while ... now if it's fine for me I don't care ... as I pass by the bowls during the day, I see them finishing one and then when that's empty they start other. c) You can try discouraging them with sprays (see link below) .... old dog not a chewer, new dog ate a carpet 3rd day here, sprayed it and she did it again next day. On 5th day,gave her an "Eh", she looked up, gave her a chew stick and no repeats since. Honestly I don't think the training had any effect .... now they just alternate sleeping and doing Doggie MMA sparring all day long. But new dog has been here almost a month and she's heard "Eh" maybe 3 times ... Old dog, 2 years and she gets to hear "Eh" 2 - 3 times a week. d) As for walking, try walking a loop instead of there and back walks. When ya get to the final destination, have a treat ready for the doorway .... next day the foyer or vestibule ... eventually in your home.
