Reminders from Jane Messineo Lindquist from Puppy Culture

This is a global "Manding" post - we get more questions about manding than any other PC protocol, and it's also the most misunderstood protocol because it's so often confused with "sitting politely for petting" which is a completely different concept. So here are the links with all the information you need on manding:

http://bit.ly/IAABCMANDING - my article in the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants on manding which describes the history of the concept, its basic application, and benefits.

http://bit.ly/MANDINGFAILURE - my article on what manding is and is not and why puppies who are taught to mand will (and should) still jump up on people sometimes

http://bit.ly/MANDINGDISCRIMSTIM - my article on how and when to honor the mand, and how and when to let the puppy know that his opportunity for petition is closed at this time ;).
