Folks, the new reality is that there are no longer central locations to surrender pets or take strays that you’ve found. You have to work to find homes for animals. I’m not going to voice an opinion on that today. However, this post illustrates the reality of our responsibility toward animals we feed and care for. We can’t just let an animal sit in a yard for 7 years and then expect someone to want to bring that animal into their home, after it has killed at least one animal and started growling at children. Not to mention that the owner “pushes the dog around” to get a harness and leash on him! Owner says he’s not trained, but he IS trained - he’s learned a lot from everyone he’s come in contact with: Kids go away when you growl; fight the harness and leash; kill cats when they come into the yard; who knows what else? What does it look like when this dog is being “pushed around” to leash him? For heaven’s sake, don’t walk this dog in my neighborhood, please! It’s not likely the owner has any control, or that the owner has any sense of the dog’s body language signals before all hell breaks loose.
Pet owners are responsible for their animals’ well-being; that includes meeting their physiological AND psychological needs. It includes preparing them to successfully live in a human-centered world. We can’t just pass our problems along anymore; we must take responsibility. Moreover, if we “love” animals, we need to act like it. Love is big and comes with some responsibility for another being’s future.

It’s Mardi Gras! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Because we’ve been training recall from the beginning, starting in small spaces with few distractions, we can feel confident about practicing without fences or leashes, “in the wild”. Regular check-ins on his own and a strong recall give Al (and me) lots of opportunities for fun!

Recall “in the wild”

Practicing without fences: safe because we’ve prepared well!

The Springer and the Parrot

Just before filming this, I told Al, "Mat" and he went under the cabinet where he couldn't see Jane (the parrot) playing - he made a mistake. I told him he wasn't using logic, and he immediately went to this mat! I cracked up laughing and wished I had caught that funny moment on video! Of course, he wasn't responding to my admonishment regarding logic - but it's more important for him to be calm and relaxed while Jane plays. He made a great choice!

One reason leash skills are important is because you might need to navigate stairs with your pet at your side, and you'd like to make it through without falling!

Training is fun and games. While playing around, you can teach your pet to solve puzzles and make good choices. That's what it's all about!

Oh, the things you didn't know you needed to teach your dog (or cat!) Learn them with us in The Mannerly Dog's Beyond Basic Manners Program. Here's one example of a group of skills we develop in the program.

Just a little intro video. . . .

Teaching dogs to "hand you their feet" is useful for so many applications - nail trimming, wiping wet feet, checking for a thorn or "sticker" as we call them here in Texas!
