I Want It

No photo today but I was eating popcorn and Jeannie wanted some. She barked at me demanding I give her some. I corrected her. She barked again - a persistent thing. Then we started doing training without treats till she settled into it and I then added the treats. I used distraction and correction in a positive way.

For some reason Miss Bossy Pants thinks she can tell you bark, bark, bark I best get that.

She will learn that it won't. She just keeps trying it different ways in case I change my mind. She's a step over the line dog. :-)

Yes, she is, but does she pout? I've never seen any dog pout like Scruffs! He's mastered it now

Hmm Tre for all his sweet qualities wears those same pants from time to time. He doesn't exactly pout but rather throws himself quite dramatically into the down position. With his beautiful long coat it's quite the sight and hard not to laugh :)

Happy Anniversary to you and Nathan!

Jeannie does not pout - she barks - oy!

Gerda that sounds so funny - what a character and you put it into perspective. Love to see a photo of him. Thnx re: anniversary.

Lori: I have seen the pout but mostly with Roxie actually - it's a - what about ME!

Darlah I have been rather remiss in the photo department:( between dog classes, Xmas prep and work time is flying by. Off to Las Vegas on Monday for some shoping, shows and games. The daughter of one of my travel companions will be moving in to look after the pups. Will try to rectify the photo situation when I get back. I don't think Tre is silvering as much as Kobe but it could be deceiving as Kobe's hair is quite shorter, will have to take a closer look.

Gerda: I would LOVE to see a photo so when you get back... if you can... please.... Have a grand time in Vegas. It's a shopping mecca!
