This is a bonus Q and A Episode. I try and answer questions live every Thursday. You can sign up to come to my free live Q and A at <a href="http://schoolforthedogs.com/QandA">schoolforthedogs.com/QandA</a> and you will see the next one I’m doing. I then am trying to take recordings of those Q and A’s and post them here to the podcast feed. If you have a question, you can email me directly <a href="mailto:Annie@schoolforthedogs.com">Annie@schoolforthedogs.com</a>. You can also go to <a href="http://anchor.fm/dogs">anchor.fm/dogs</a> and record your question there. Thanks for being here.</p> <p>This is Annie Grossman here. I am doing a Live. We had some technical difficulties, but you you can join now at schoolforthedogs.com/Qanda. Or you can just hang out here. I have some great questions here. We have Max and Melissa in the room with us right now. Max has a two year old standard poodle named Lolo. I’m not sure I met Lolo, but how is Lolo doing?</p> <p>Anyway thanks for sticking with me. There were some technical difficulties just now. But I have some great questions. I am not sure if those who ask these questions are in the room, but if you are, do say hello. All right.</p> <p>Our first question is from Michelle Adams who has a Labrador, 70 pounds, lives in San Diego. And Michelle writes me this:</p> <p>Hooper has been going to Fiesta Island, a large off-leash park where he can chase a ball and play with other dogs, for about three months now. He has been going with a dog walker who also has other dogs. He absolutely loves Fiesta Island this week.</p> <p>This week he has decided he does not want to leave the house when they show up to take him. He is home by himself and simply needs to go out the doggy door. Rather, he sits on the sofa and looks at them through the window. If they come into the house, he will go with them. He then has a blast while he is at the park, pictures to verify (I guess she’s saying they take pictures to verify this).</p> <p>The first time he refused to go, they asked him if he wanted a treat and he went right out the dog door. The second time he refused to go, they again tried asking him if he wanted a treat and he still refused to go. They had to go into my home to take him. I am not certain if he is just being lazy, it’s not really his style. Or if I should listen to him and realize that he doesn’t want to go?</p> <p>Full Transcript available at <a href="https://www.schoolforthedogs.com/podcasts/episode-94-dog-training-q-and-a-11-05-2020-cody-doesnt-want-to-go-out-with-walker-peaches-wont-pee-on-the-patio-more/">SchoolfortheDogs.com/Podcast</a></p>
