Perhaps it isn’t just Mom, Dad, Asa, and their trainer, that could benefit from making a few changes. Perhaps I could use a little help too. It has come to my attention that I may have some separation issues. Ok, I admit it. I sometimes get jealous of Asa when he’s the center of attention. […]
I think I may have accidentally created a monster. Don’t get me wrong. I take great pride in seeing my goofy little brother transform from a floppy puppy embarrassed being the center of attention, to a dog who proudly sits and accepts his celebrity status. However, Asa is taking it to extremes by insisting the […]
While out and about accompanying Mom and Dad on errands we drove past Mayor Baxter Woods in Portland, Maine. Before I could even utter a single bark, Mom voiced exactly what I was thinking. “This would be a good place to practice our training!” So after stocking up on bee supplies, we explored this park […]
I take back everything negative I’ve said about Mom and Dad’s trainer. The man is a genius! This week he finally gave me the recognition I deserve. He put me on a pedestal! Clearly Mom and Dad weren’t worshipping me like they should. To clear up any confusion, this week in class their trainer put […]
I’m almost positive that Mom and Dad’s trainer was trained by a cat. That is the only logical explanation for the illogical walk we did together in class this week. It all began with our continuing work in training Mom and Dad to follow my lead while leashed to me. After barking my concerns at […]
Asa and I are doing so well training Mom and Dad with our sit and stays, that we decided to take our training on the road! While out doing errands with them, I noticed the perfect park for us to stop and let Mom and Dad practice making us the center of attention. Too bad […]
We have finally reached the point in Mom and Dad’s training that I’ve been waiting for, polite leash walking! The reason we enrolled Mom and Dad for summer school was because of their refusal to follow Asa and myself when on a leash. There have been many times where we see a friend to greet, […]
I’m beginning to question if Mom and Dad are taking their training serious. Asa and I are rocking their sit and stay training. I admit at first it was difficult to watch Mom and Dad wander farther and farther away from us, while we just sat there. I may have even panicked a few times […]
I’m beginning to think Mom and Dad’s trainer is a cat person. Asa and I arrived at their second class full of exuberance to see their trainer. Would you believe he ignored us? No petting, no happily greeting us, not even a treat! And I know he had treats because I could smell them in […]
Mom and Dad’s first training class didn’t go quite as expected. However, I believe we are on the right track to retraining them to be more responsive to our demands, oops I mean commands. Anyways, as soon as we arrived to class, the trainer immediately separated us! He tied Asa to one corner, me to […]
