eddievonteese I wish I had more vacation, but 2 months is more than most get...
How I did it: Oh for heaven's sake I just wrote this long entry and my computer ate it.He knows many commands, and even my obediance training mother couldn't believe how well mannered he was when she took care of him while I was on vacation.TOTALLY WORTH IT! Read how I did it…
moneyfornothing Law of Attraction changed my life.
How I did it: I researched how I would be training my puppy before even deciding which one to take home. My friend and I talked about it and decided two were better. For one reason, one dog would be lonely. The other, there were two there and too hard to decide which to bring home, so we chose both.I decided that after talking with several people and companies, I was going to attend an 8 week course with Pet Smart. I had develop… Read how I did it…

Heelwork (oh my will he ever get this one…too many interesting smells)
Stay – both in sit and down
Down – This is coming on now, but he is starting to anticipate :)
Recall – continue the good work
We looked at heeling after presenting in a sit – it will take a while I think for this one – we have enough on for now, I think we need to put this on the back burner for now.
Right now HPJ is snoring – he is very good at that.

Actually, I got Zodiac to turn around and then sit in just 2 hours of training. Accuracy is still low at about 20% compliance, but he definitely does it when prompted repeatedly.

Week 1 and he did very well considering it was his first week and he was the youngest in the class. Lots of new dogs to meet and again he was very distracted and wanted to play and have fun rather than the serious school work.
He was not too bad at his heel work, good at sitting, but now we need to work on down, and stay. He still insists on carrying/ chewing the lead when we practise in the garden which we are trying to cure him of, and then we can do some serious homework. Already this morning he has done some good sit/stays but not for long, so we have to build up the time, (he needs to do 10 seconds for this class.)
So this week concentrating on stays, more heelwork (sitting when we stop walking) and down.

April is getting better with her downs and tricks. She is even responding well to the training to curb her barking. Im pleased with the baby steps. She is a good dog truly. She just turns into cujo every now and again :(

It’s only been two days since I started training with a clicker and my dog already knows how to lie down! :)

Was yesterday, and HPJ is now moving onto the ‘proper’ obedience class next week.
We have done a lot of heel work practice, which he is quite good at when there are no distractions, and he is good at sit and his recall. A good start.
Today we have had our first trip to the woods and introduced him to water. He was quite happy to paddle about, and watch HP swimming out to fetch sticks. I think he will be a swimmer before too long. However now his very muddy and very tired.
We also met lots of other people and dogs in the woods which was excellent for him.
AND he has now been introduced to the delights of Norwegian Liver Paste as a treat :)

Just got a clicker today so I think that will help more with training.

...that the Alpha Dog asserts his authority by sitting in the other dog’s beds. This is one reason why your dog should not be allowed on the sofa or your bed as it asserts his position as pack leader, when of course you should be pack leader
However it seems that it also means that the Alpha Dog, however large, will attempt to shoe-horn himself into New Pup’s bed however small, and however ridiculous this actually is.
I apologise for the lack of quality but the sun was backlighting the subject and I just had to get a piccy of this

I picked up my dog yesterday afternoon and immediately gave him a bath to clean him up. He was so tired and just wanted to sleep, poor guy. We went on a walk later on and he seemed just like his old self again. I hope I never have to go through this again. Too nerve wrecking!
