STAY OUT OF SHUBIE DOG PARK: BLUE GREEN ALGAE

EDIT: I saw comments saying it could be fluorescein. Which is possible. I hate to potentially cause fear of that's the case, but better safe than sorry.

Ears or no ears, that is the question!

I took Mr. Teeth-for-Brains to The Barkside Pet Supplies to help pick out rugs. Everyone knows I love the tiny Redline K9 tugs. I call them 'pocket tugs', they are so small there's no excuse to not always have one with you. Part of the fun of having a puppy is getting to play everywhere you go!

The other day I posted a video of Frankie playing an UpDog disc game to demonstrate how easy it can be to get started.

Now here's a video demonstrating how you can suck and still have fun! 🀣 Three bars down in under 20 seconds πŸ™ˆ

Today in puppy class we were working on our polite greetings and here was an important note to keep in mind:

If you give your puppy the okay to go say hi to someone, and they don't want to, the person isn't allowed to come pet them anyway. The puppy should go to the person, not the person coming to the puppy. (Say that in your head. "The puppy goes to the person) If you say "Go say hi!" and they stay glued to your leg, no hands should be put on the dog. We want your puppy to know that if they politely say no, we listen. Ignoring those polite "no's", especially with a pup that might be worried, could result in them feeling they need to use behaviour like growling, snarling, snapping, and biting to more clearly get their point across. You want your puppy to know that you've got their back, and you will take control of those situations.

You don't work for a petting zoo. You don't have to let people touch your dog if you (and your dog) don't want them to.

If you've taken classes with us you've heard us talking about using rewards in training, and what a reward actually is. A dog must actually want something for it to be used as a reward, otherwise it's not so rewarding, is it?

If you call your puppy away from playing with another, and when she comes to you she is offered a single piece of dry kibble that she gets twice a day for free in a bowl anyway .. she might say "Yeah you can keep that, I'm gonna go back and play with that puppy some more."

If you offer to pay for training in monopoly money, I likely won't be showing up for the session. Monopoly money is not of value to me. It is not a valuable form of payment for my work.

So when you are asking your dog to do things that they find challenging to do, ask yourself "Am I paying them adequately for the job I'm asking them to do?" A recall across the living room, and a recall across a dog park full of people and puppies and smells and sticks ... two totally different jobs.

Here are two pictures: All the dogs looking at me because they know they will get a cookie for posing for a photo, but Frankie staring at her stick that is in the tree. I could fire a handful of treats at Frankies head and they would likely just bounce off. While she does happily take treats and can take treats if a stick is around, if you were to ask her she would tell you the stick is the most valuable thing for her in that situation.
