Behaviors to Ignore

Recently, I joined a beep baseball league. It's basically like regular baseball, but the ball and the bases make sounds. Anyway, durring the games, I usually leave Mason tied to the bleachers. The problem was he didnt like the fact I was running after a ball and doing everything else you do in a game. He showed this by whining, barking, and basically being as loud as he could be. A friend of mine said she usually interrupts whatever she's doing, and corrects her dog for this type of behavior. However, I couldnt exactly stop in the middle of batting or catching the ball, or running the bases to correct what Mason was doing. Besides, I figured that going to him would be like a reward. So, I decided to just ignore him. After a while, Mason realized that all his barking was doing was making him hot and tired, and not getting him any of the attention he wanted. So, he quit. I guess that goes to show that there is more than one way to train a dog. Just like us, they all have different ways of learning that work better for them as individuals.
