Giz/Emma and everyones pets on the board

It's so simple, but not the way people think.

Think like a dawg, it makes sense then.

 

Oh my, Blue is so cute with that little spot of tan on his forehead.
He is waiting for his first command.

 

Whichever one we get, it will have lipstick all over his forehead within 2 minutes.

The house is puppy prepped, we're all packed and will leave for up north to stay at the camper for 2 nights. First night no pup, just the 2 dogs, the wife, and I. Then Saturday, it's puppy time!

 

It drives me insane to hear someone beg their dog to do something.
Our trainer starts every dog in her puppy classes. You might be in puppy classes for 2-3 sets of 6 weeks.
You can always tell at a glance the ones that aren't going to 'graduate' to the advanced classes. Sadly like you said, they just don't get it. Usually the ones that talk to the dog like a child or are quiet and shy don't do well in the classes. Although I will say, i never saw anyone at our trainer's that didn't get better at at least some training.

 

As long as you dont let the dog kiss you. Thats just gross!!!

 

People need more training than the dog.

 

Yes, the trainer trains you to train your dog

 

loon, glad he is okay , has it been cooler up there ?

 

The Pepto seemed to help gang.. Nights are getting chilly fess.

 

Not only do we do down with Bear, but also head down as well. This is really submission for him

They are SSSOOOO cute, Blue has my vote..............

 

Lots of good advice already. Good video from Cesar, some good ideas there for Eric VW to work with re the "jealous" bark toward his wife, definitely something you shouldn't ignore. Our two females will "claim" their spot or person giving affection, and defend it from each other. I've had to break up a number of fights between them over this behavior, got a few stitches in my hand from sticking my hand in the middle of them. We had to have some pro trainer help in ways to avoid the situation and diffuse it if it escalates.

My wife gets frustrated because the hounds don't listen to her as they do for me. We've been working on it but it's tough because I work with them much more regularly than she does. She falls into the trap of repeating the command over and over, basically begging the dog to react, whereas if I give the command and the dog doesn't react, I'm ready to correct them immediately. Also being the person who has taught the dogs the expected behavior to the command makes them react to me differently than her.

 

Popoki helping Mom's in the garden this morning.

 

It's after 1. I wanna see Horkn and the new pooch!

 

The suspense is a killer...........................

 

Lab pup is beautiful.

It was really hot today so I filled up the kiddy pool for Minna, she loves the water.

We recently started a training class at the local MSPCA, all positive reinforcement, clicker training,
she is doing very well, really food motivated.
lots of info on the web if you are not familiar with it.

 

Yes.

 

So... where's this new pup Horkn ...

 

We want the pup......................We want the pup......................We want the pup............................
