Hello everyone! We hope you guys had a great weekend. Charlie over here had a pretty lazy weekend lots of peeing on trees, went to the dog park, slept in till noon one day (I almost resorted to a cold bucket of water)! Over ate one day and had the worst farts all night!! YUCK!! Silent but deadly is soo true in his case, he is after all shaped like a hot dog....! I let it all slide because I knew what was in store for the little weenie this week...TRAINING. Dun, dun, DUN.
Charlie has an issue when people he doesn't know come into our office or home; he barks and gets a little aggressive. As you can imagine this can be quite annoying especially if I'm on the phone so, enough is enough. I called the trainer I took him too when he was a pup but unfortunately it was going to cost me some big bucks for a personal training session. So I studied up over the weekend and found out I need him to recognize his "place".
Today we did about 10 mins of training, you never want to train for too long, you get frustrated which means your pooch is already frustrated and that = nothing good! Check out our video below
For the first day I think he's doing pretty good! I'll post another video by the end of the week to actually see this in "action"
Kerry!!! Charlie is so cute!! Good luck with the training. I'm sure Charlie will get the hang of it in no time. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!:D I know I said I was going to post another video but I got lazy! He's gotten it pretty good so far tho. When someone knocks, before I open the door I make him go to his place but once the door is open he doesn't really like to stay there so I have to hold him with the leash, but after the first few times of trying to get out he has learned that he has to stay until he can be nice. So I'll let him out and if he starts to bark at the person I tell him, "Charlie go to your place" and he instead just stops barking! =)
