As Asa and I continue sharing our previous posts on How to Train Your Human, today we look back to the all important skill of teaching Mom and Dad to walk on a leash. However, as you read this post from August 2018, you will see our lessons were at first interrupted by a lightning […]
Dogs, as we all continue to stay home and practice social distancing, I’m sure there have been a few moment of rebellion from those of you trying to retrain your humans. Asa and myself also hit a few bumps in the road when we were helping Mom and Dad with their sit/stay back in 2018. […]
As we continue re-sharing our series on training Mom and Dad, I would like to pause and thank their trainer for teaching them social distancing! Little did I realize back in 2018 when they had their second lesson with him, how important teaching Mom and Dad to keep a safe distance from us would become […]
Since a lot of dogs are home with their humans now, we thought we’d re-share the posts from our training series to perhaps inspire you to work on your human’s skills. In 2018 Asa and I enrolled Mom and Dad for private lessons to address issues they were having with leash walking and other commands. […]
Against Mom’s better judgement, I leashed up Dad and we headed to his Canine Good Citizen Class. It being the final class I was hoping we would be taking the certification test. Instead, we, along with the other two dogs and their humans, found the room had the overwhelming scent of cleaning products, and the […]
Needless to say in light of recent events, Mom could not attend her Canine Good Citizen Class. However, I am determined to continue to work with Dad for his certification. So we headed off to our second class with his new trainer, confident in our goal. This week we worked on three more parts of […]
I’m happy to report that Mom and Dad’s first Canine Good Citizen class went very well. I admit though, I feel like the weird old guy. My classmates are all younger than me. Ok, they’re a lot younger than me. Also they’ve all been through the obedience classes with this trainer, so some of my […]
Sorry Asa, but Mom and Dad have gone as far as they can with you. It is time for me to lead them further to receive their good citizen status! Oh sure you’ve worked really hard this past year, but…well…how can I put this nicely? You seem to be a bad influence on Mom and […]
It’s been a few months now since Asa and I took Mom and Dad to their last class with their trainer. Yet I can’t seem to shake his voice echoing in my head! Case in point, the other night Asa and I were busy using our Golden power of mind control to convince Dad to […]
Rather than give you an update on my humans’ training, I thought I’d let one of my students, Mom, share with you what she and Dad have been doing to practice their lessons. Please note that the views expressed here by Mom do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Asa and myself. So without further […]
