This week, we had the pleasure of being able to foster and train another dog from Canine Companions Rescue Center.
This time around, we were matched with a 4-month old puppy. And is she CUTE! It’s a good thing she’s cute, because, my goodness, is she a spitfire. Already, little princess and I have had several conversations about her manners. We had a chat about the inappropriateness of jumping onto the kitchen table to steal food. We’ve had several discussions about how it is not nice to bite people’s pants, legs, and ankles when she wants attention. I had to remind her that throwing a tantrum at bedtime will not get her out of her crate. We’ve had a couple long talks about not being able to run outside to play any time she wants to, even when the closest door opens. Also, we’ve had more than one conversation about proper behavior when she’s angry. Mostly, that it is NEVER ok to bite out of frustration. It is especially NOT ok to bite my hands, arms, or my poor watch that never did anything to her. I think she and I are making some good progress, which is bittersweet because the little girl is being adopted on Sunday. I’m going to miss our daily discussions, but I’m thankful that Little Miss is staying in the Clever Canine family. One of our trainers is adopting her, and we couldn’t be happier to have the little stinker stay around. Do you have a dog (young or old) that needs help with their behaviors or manners? We can help.
