Got it. I think I fully understand what I am suppose to be doing with the leash now. I am going to definitely make her wait for her food this evening and just not allow her to eat until she does. (As hard as that may be)- (by the way I was smart enough to be holding the bowl while doing this yesterday not leaving it on the floor.)
I will start the threshold training NOW. I just went outside to get her for a break and she actually just stood and waited at the door until I said "come on" Although I don't want that to be my release word and wasn't even trying.
Hopefully.. just doing these constantly I will see a slight change. I will be back tomorrow with an update. Probably crying. Seriously.
I sure hope you are all around to help me for the next few years with anything I need.

Nice work!

Big problems are built on shaky foundations, the little things. Impulse control is an enormous life lesson for this breed. They absolutely need bomb proof structure and foundation at home and on walks. When they start to defer to you before the impulses kick in, you're winning.

We will be here, don't worry.

Update- I think it is my kids that need training. Not Luna. lol

I sat them down last night and explained to them that screaming, running, or being rough with each other entices Luna. I made sure that for the entire evening then talked calmly, walked slow, and just stayed calm. Luna was GREAT. No biting and only a little bit of running around but it was normal puppy -im going to randomly run over to my bed- stuff. She waited for her food, and even started ringing her bells to go outside to potty. I'm so happy with her.

I am going to continue watching these training videos. She needs lots of work with the threshold training. She will wait after about 6 pops of the collar. Now that I know that the kids need to be crazy outside or upstairs in order to keep her calm. Training will be a lot less stressful. -I think-

So good to hear you are making progress and being so proactive with training.

Well, I'm glad you said it and not me, but yes, kids are a huge obstacle to puppy training. But hopefully they will come around and what you're saying will sink in.

You never know, maybe you're house will be quieter and more calm, generally, once they commit to good puppy training

Please keep updating and asking questions.

Pay very close attention to the Place command. It's a game changer.

No counter surfing, no door rushing, no begging for food, no swallowing things you drop out of boxes or packages, no hyperactivity around feeding. ......Place command is insurance for all of this .

I just want to add I was reading through this and thinking how happy I am that my boy is over a year old and past all this with proper training puppies grow out of this but they are so much work.

Wrong place...there the hell is the delete button on this. Am I blind?!!?

I'm in a mood tonight ...  How do you till a horse???

Still not sure why the call it a horse tiller, but with a 300+cc engine, you'd better hang on!!

Try looking here for the manual and parts list.

No charge for the manuals, but the one I tried to open didn't ... bummer.

Don't know, Al...never tried.

And my post was supposed to be in the hijack.

Let me tell you, you've never lived until you've had a thoroughly wet, squirrelly, smelly 1 yr old husky climb in your lap to snuggle

Damn Archer. I didn't know he was wet

Now I will try to move my misplaced post.

By the by, I still think you missed the right place for the thread ... did you get the snow-blower attachment with it???

Nope - already have a snowblower...a 23 year old MTD track drive that we got when Josh was 2 (he's now 25). That thing

I've copy/pasted to the hijack - now I'll delete it from here. But I'm also cooking dinner for wayne and monitoring 2 rambunctious pups. Including one wet one that keeps ringing the doorbell, comes in, slobbers on me and then wants to go back out
