Giz/Emma and everyones pets on the board

Had a little help roof raking today. Oliver! saw me standing on the snow bank raking the second story roof and decided it looked like fun, must have given him a good vantage point to see over the frickin banks.

 

Looks like he's focused. I think dogs secretly want to be birds... they love getting up as high as possible to survey the land.

 

That's interesting, no treats from your hands, how do you do training? Most training techniques are based on food reward.

My dogs gets their afternoon meal "dressed up" with any leftovers hanging around in the fridge. They are definitely interested in our food, but I don't allow it to be overbearing or annoying. They all love carrots, I usually have a bag of carrots nearby while I'm cooking and give them a few.

 

OLIVER is one cool, proud lookin' fella.................

 

Hehehe... until I can get Giz to stop shreekin' when she's running around outside... guess I won't get too deep on training... As far as "come", "stay", "down", "leave it"... did that with praise, a training collar and a long rope.

 

Meet blitz the laziest cat ive ever seen

 

My dogs are chow hounds. They will eat anything. We give them people food. But only after we have eaten, and only good food we know is not toxic or cast offs. Like a left over hamburger, some steak etc. never the fat. They love broccoli, potato, carrots and beans. They will eat fish, but only after they decide that is the only thing left. The cats, all six of them, won't touch people food. I had a cat that loved chicken and ham, but none of theses. We have a lot of treats for both the dogs and cats. I am careful what and how much they get. No imported foods, no junk.

 

Our dogs love fruit and some veggies. Pineapple, bananas, apples, cherries, plums, strawberries etc. Shadow will eat carrots and peas. None of the dogs will eat mushrooms which is great as we spend a lot of time in the bush.

 

Buddy of mine came out today and filled his truck with some of the swamp maple I've been dealing with as he is just about out
Emma is in her penalty box still as she tried to take out a school bus yesterday cause she knew her zapper collar wasn't working. She is one smart cookie BUT Mrs loon bought new batteries today.

 

There is a little Juvenile Delinquent in all of us.........................

 

Lol...Do you chase school buses too????

 

Gotta love those zapper collars. My Molly won't go near the line if the beeper is working. I don't find time out working except to keep her contained until I put the working collar on her.

 

Poor Emma... it was just a school bus Dad... she wasn't gonna bury it... honest...

 

Maggie sucking up the heat today .

 

Don't blame her will.

 

She'll run along the front of the property at buses, big trucks and 4 wheelers stinny? But she was almost on the road when that sucker flew by.
The driver seen her and slowed down fast but she woulda been squished if it was any closer. Everything is fine and back in order as I had to drag her out to the line when the brand new batteries were put in....

Some people don't believe in the electric tricks but that's too bad as I don't believe in a crushed dog.

 

She was a little pizzed at me those splits by her head had some snow and ice on them so I put them there to melt ,and she looks at me like WTF dad you're taking up my space .

 

That is a couple funny pics 99.

 

Just when you think you have them trained ,they get a wild hair across their azz kind a like a teenager ,and push the envelope and it scares the Chit out'a you .
