Farewell Winter: A Video Love Letter
Farewell Winter! Although you overstayed your welcome, I did have a lot of fun, and will hold onto these frosty memories during the dog days of summer. PS: I bet you’re surprised to see that I’m a multilinguist. All dogs naturally speak many languages. How else do you think we know what you’re telling us?!
Multifunctional Dog Leash
Some of you may have noticed from pictures in previous posts that I do not use a traditional dog leash. Instead I prefer to use a Multifunctional Leash often used by professional trainers, K9 handlers, and military working dogs. I purchased this leash when I was training Chuck Billy to do nose work. But I soon found […]
Neighborhood Patrol with the Rookie
It is time Asa earns his keep in this family and supports our community by joining me on my daily neighborhood patrols. Oh sure it may seem like a leisurely walk for Mom and Dad, but for me this is serious work. Thanks to our long daily walks twice a day, I have become a […]
Tandem Buddies
April Fool’s has come and gone but if you ask Chuck Billy he’ll tell you it is a month long event. Recently I purchased a Tandem leash extension and, as you can imagine, my best friend is not thrilled to be attached to a teething, squirming puppy. Chuck Billy’s feelings aside, this is not as bad […]
Polar Puppy Problems
Despite the surprise snowstorm last week, Spring is slowly but surely making an appearance here in Maine. But with it comes a whole new set of problems for my little brother. Namely, where to go to the bathroom?! From the day Asa came home we thought we were doing an excellent job housebreaking him. Little […]
Zombie Puppy
Have you ever noticed how similar teething puppies are to zombies? Let’s start with the obvious, they each have a desire to sink their teeth into human flesh. Luckily Asa doesn’t want to eat Mom, but one look at her hands and you can see he’s tasted his fair share of flesh. Next the awkward […]
Liver, Peanut Butter, Cheese & Bacon!
Asa is being home schooled for basic obedience training. Early on we figured out he was highly motivated by food over play. All of our other dogs were the same way so it was no surprise. We needed to get some “highly valued” reward treats for him to help reinforce training exercises and, after trying […]
A Puppy’s Perspective on Holidays
First off I’d like to thank Chuck Billy for doing a great job as a big brother explaining to me the curious ways of humans. But advance warning on holidays would have been appreciated. I’m still getting use to our regular routine, and have to admit I’m a little confused on the concept of weekdays […]
Chicken Bone!
Well, not really, but it is what we have been calling Asa’s newest chewing toy from Nylabone. Over the last week or so Asa has started to lose his puppy teeth which means his chewing has increased. Hard chew toys are now off limits in order to protect his new adult choppers. Chuck Billy was […]
