One trainer I know puts wet dog food and then freezes the kong so the dog has to work for 45 minutes or longer to get it out. Licking is very soothing and relaxing for dogs, you never know it might work!<br /><br />Beth: I hear you! Dogs are awesome but can drive a person bananas no matter how much we love them! I have a great book suggestion: The Thinking Dog by Gail Tamasis Fisher. She was a traditional trainer (like I was) that crossed over into clicker (operant conditioning) training, and this book is largely why I switched as well! Another great book is When Pigs Fly. <br /><br />Cathy: can't wait to read your thoughts after you have read it!<br /><br />Mystica: I'm not sure what you have tried, but like I suggested above, an engaging thing like trying to get frozen wet food out of a Kong will be enough to distract your dog in your absence. And if you ONLY give it to them when you are leaving they will eventually be excited when you get your coat on because they will know their Kong is coming!<br /><br />Mary: I know, SO CUTE!<br /><br />Jewelknits: I know, I love when a discussion happens! Who doesn't like comments?! :0)<br /><br />Anna: Thanks, Anna, and thanks so much for stopping by!<br /><br />Hey Book Girl, I know, my dogs too are always thinking... smarter than me most of the time!
