Lilly's Behavioralist was here today. Thanks to his help, she's doing excellent and is no longer threatening to exterminate the human race one bloody chunk at a time.
Next up: other canines! He'll be bringing in guinea pig dogs to serve as learning aids in Lilly's introduction to the social graces.
Clicking and treating is awesome. I never imagined that one day the stuff from Psych 101 would be so important to me.

Posted by: ArklahomBoy at February 13, 2005 02:45 AMYes. Ringing a bell and feeding the dog. Also, Skinner and his box, with the monkey, pigeon, whatever, pressing the lever for the food pellet. We're changing Lilly's association of strangers=fear to strangers=food.

Is Shiloh impressed by her progress?
(Somehow I don't think so...LOL)
Sounds like Lilly will be a refined southern-belle in no time.
