But there was one problem – Brian was actually treatless! He was picking up grass clippings (fine if you’re enticing a goat) and pretended like the grass was treats. So, as Brian did his “nummy, nummy” routine, the dog was hiding inside bushes in a front yard and watched Brian with great interest. It doesn’t work all of the time, but it does work! By fixing their attention on food on the ground and NOT on the panicked dog, it helps calm a loose dog down, enable our rescuer to get close, and encourages the dog to approach us for food. Instead, we train volunteer pet detectives to ignore the dog, to approach slowly but by “curving” and to focus their attention on the ground as they drop treats while making “nummy, nummy” noises. These are three biggest mistakes that would-be rescuers make when trying to capture a loose dog. He was careful to NOT call the dog, to NOT look at the dog, and to NOT walk directly towards the dog. Never passing up a chance to rescue a loose stray, Brian went to work. While driving to one of our weekly K9 training sessions, MPP volunteer Brian Newsham spotted a loose white husky-like dog in my neighborhood. Here’s an example of how these techniques recently helped MPP capture a skittish, stray dog.Ĭase 10-012 – MoMo (“Mo” as in the three stooge’s dude, not “moo” like the cow sound…yeah, WE don’t name these pets, we just help recover them!!!)
