Carlo went to the same 3+ week Obedience school that Basil and Caper just attended. I know there is a difference between a 130 pound guardian and a 4-7 pound Yorkie, but I believe they all need it, and they need to know who the alpha is. We still will have to reinforce their training daily, with a 10-15 minute workout at home.
I am very happy with A CLOSER BOND where Carlo and the brothers atttended. They do a great job, and what a huge difference just taking the boys for a walk. Nice having them sit when we stop. Not to move until they get a command, to focus on us, not all of the distractions, and to come when they are called. Still working on the NO and PLACE command. Last night, we had them PLACED on their individual mats for 30 minutes. They try to push it, but after a few corrections they know they are no longer the boss because they are cute. Find a good trainer. Get references, Go and monitor their methods. Check the place out for cleanliness and smell. Common sense will rule. You pay good money for a great pet, so whatever you can do to make them better, while they have fun and exercise is a win win. |
Very good points. I have the male version of Maxine.
Except when he doesn't come when called it isn't because he doesn't want to, it's because he's terrified.
He'll even wet the floor.
All I see is 3 very handsome men. The spice boys look all grown up now.
