I just love to see your dogs when I am perusing the recent enteries. Milo is wonderful. Front paws well placed, Bea. #437752

Thank you Melissa. This little dog proved to be quite a challenge. He only wanted to come and jump on me, so I walked around in quiet circles, waiting for the moment he was distracted. I was also attempting to kneel down for a shot, but he saw me, so I gave that idea away very quickly, otherwise I would have been mugged! #2714502

Enjoyed the wonderful dog photos in your gallery, Bea! Very nicely done and your love of animals is reflected in your images. #2715334

Nice to meet you Milo!!!

Do you treat your dogs Bea when you have the camera out?I'm wondering if it has taken on the properties of a secondary reiforcer. Remember Luke Hura's dog staring at the camera the hog! . ~Pat #2715487

Thank you Alan and Pat. Gee Alan, how can you tell!!!
No Pat, I don't treat. But if I get the camera out they all leap into action and think we may be going for a walk, as I always take it with us! The Greys just stand around, looking at things. Milo hasn't had any training with interaction and behaviour with people. He's well looked after, and they don't give treats. His job, supposedly, is to help with the cattle. #2717619

Milo is very beautiful. I thought maybe you had gotten a new dog until I read that he was your neighbors. #2718399

Thank you Kim, yes, he is a lovely young dog. Four dogs is enough for me to cope with. #2718418

Going for a walk is still a positive reinforcer Bea, the dogs associate the camera with something pleasant.

Milo's "treat" ala Premack Principle would be to work. ~Pat #2718435

Yes, you're right Pat, and it didn't take them long to work it out. At night if I pick the camera up, they don't move as they know I'm not going anywhere! Milo had his eye on the ancient family cat! I'd like to have got down to eye level, but as it was he left muddy pawprints all over me! I just ignored him, waiting for him to settle, which he did, to a degree. #2718443

LOL, yes, aren't they funny sausages, even when I put Teena's collar on she woo woo's .

She loves the camera as it leads to a reinforcement of either kicking a cardboard box or a walk or a tuggy, or a piece of food sorry about using the word treat.It's a slang term.

I loved Milo's eye Bea, he is so trim Bea as a working dog should be!!!! You are getting some great and varied shots, you would constantly be on the lookout for photos not living in a built up area.

It is my birthday tomorrow, I got a black screen to use as a background for a present!!! Whoo Hooo. ~Pat #2718600
