WD, like Phoenix, Loki is CRAZY for Mr WD, but when it comes time to "handle" him, Loki insists on me. He won't be handled by anyone else, except a few of our old trainers in the states. Sure I can hand his leash to someone to watch him but he will never work for them....except for caual social do treat tricks.... <br /><br />I know that air snap move. Loki has one too called gleib lout (speak)...it starts off as air snapping then goes to bark. People love it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-52739726861907856172011-11-07T09:58:55.319-08:002011-11-07T09:58:55.319-08:00Thanks for the post!

I concur 100%, I'm ok with my friends dispensing cookies and in MOST cases they 1) ask if they can give them a cookie, and 2) make them do a behavior before dispensing said cookie. Now these are my "training" friend so they get it. But there are/were one or two folks that will just willy-nilly hand out a cookie! I've retrieved my dog from them when they have raced to greet them upon entering the bldg. but it is challenging when they want to race over to them every time they are released. Thankfully I don't see the guiltiest offender any more and when the other comes in I take a "break" until they are in and settled. I like my dogs to be sociable with people but not ready to stop our training just for the chance at that treat. Like Jennifer, it's a work in progress with my food hound (my little girl just wants to give everyone a hug, ok while she's an almost 40lb puppy, not so ok when she's bigger). I just know some trainers would never allow others to treat their dogs and vice versa.Graydogzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809180593898925297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-265827266380407852011-11-05T04:16:58.989-07:002011-11-05T04:16:58.989-07:00I'm of of the said "dispensers" for ...I'm of of the said "dispensers" for Phoenix, Jamie or most any dog of friends. But I do know/respect the rules. Yep, love the air snaps, sitting up, "tail work". Nothing is free and the treats only come from me when everyone is just "hanging out". And you are so right Melinda on the "it just depends". I would love Ryelee to be confident enough to want to take treats from anyone/everyone but that just isn't going to happen. Friends know it, I know it, Ryelee knows it. Nike however is another story. She happily will takes treats and I happily let her but I still have a couple rules too - nothing is free, you at least have to be sitting. Seems like most of us have "dispenser" rules and knowing them ahead of time makes it easier for everyone. Can a mini schnauzer "clack"!?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-58350606780377989372011-11-04T19:01:16.540-07:002011-11-04T19:01:16.540-07:00I LOVE Phoenix's air snaps!!
Very interestin...I LOVE Phoenix's air snaps!! <br /><br />Very interesting post. Falkor doesn't seem to have a problem obsessing about friends with cookies but Famke, being a food spaniel, can forget I even exist if someone presents a treat. We are working on that. ;)Jennifer H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18122918066456934977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-72170040981667257592011-11-04T18:48:44.447-07:002011-11-04T18:48:44.447-07:00Heh.

Mal people call it "clacking." Phoenix air snaps/clacks when he's very happy and/or in greeting (first thing in the morning when I get up, when I get home from work, etc.) And no, he never "misses" and makes contact w/skin. Air snaps are a happy thing, not like a warning snap.
