When I enrolled Mom & Dad into training lessons never did I dream it could someday save Asa’s life. However, that is what exactly happened on a recent errand. Mom needed to run to the market to pick up a missing ingredient for dinner. Having been cooped up in the office all day, Dad leashed […]
Do you think I’m approachable? No seriously, have I become one of those celebrities that humans are dumbstruck by my mere presence? The weirdest thing happened this weekend. I took Mom and Dad to the big city for socialization training, and not a single person stopped to pet me! The only logical explanation is that […]
After over 20 years of working with dogs and humans, leave it to Asa to do something Mom and Dad’s trainer has never seen before. Well actually, let me rephrase that, leave it to Asa to NOT do something. For the past few weeks we have been fine tuning our off-leash heel. Surprisingly Asa is […]
Asa here. First off let me begin with the good news, before I get to the more embarrassing part. I went for my 6 month check up for my eyes and I’m happy to report all is well! The ophthalmologist said nothing has changed with my iris cysts, there’s no signs of sticking that would […]
Chuck Billy and I are always looking for opportunities to reinforce Mom and Dad’s training. Therefore I jumped at the chance to accompany Dad to get the car’s oil change yesterday. Little did I realize we’d soon become the center of attention at the Subaru dealership! Now I’ve accompanied Dad before on this errand, so […]
We have reached the crucial part of Mom and Dad’s training of translating the skills we’ve taught them in the classroom into real world experiences. After working so hard with Mom and Dad’s trainer to get them ready for summer, it is time to put their lessons into practice. Sure Asa and I have been […]
When it comes to our social calendars, Asa and I are completely in sync. However when it comes to our social compass, we are polar opposites! For me, Mom and Dad will always be true north, and therefore will receive my undivided attention. Asa, on the other paw, is all over the map. This difference […]
Once again I’m realizing I underestimated Mom and Dad’s trainer. I just hope I didn’t accidentally ruin his surprise for me. It was one year ago that Asa and I enrolled Mom and Dad for some training classes. Back then I simply wanted to fine tune their leash walking so that Asa and I didn’t […]
Well it only took a few days before Asa realized I was getting treats for my extraordinary heel work and he isn’t. So once again he added his own spin on Mom and Dad’s training. Literally, he added his own spin. Now when they stop walking, he spins around in front of them to remind […]
Have I ever mentioned what an intelligent human Mom and Dad’s trainer is? A remarkable man! A brilliant man! He really knows his stuff as a trainer. Case in point, he noticed that I was lacking motivation in training my humans. Oh sure I was going through the motions, but I was lagging behind walking […]
