Loved your training story, jilly. Dinky responds the training the same way. It takes him forever to get it! I have noticed that as he gets older, he seems smarter. (he's 5 now). We decided that during his convalescence we will keep him off the sofa because he could really hurt himself if he jumps off after surgery. So we started today and created a super comfy cozy nest with beds and one of OUR blankets to tempt him. He actually gave up giving me the "I'm heartbroken" stare after only 5 minutes (and I almost gave in!) He's sleeping in in his new "nest" now. |
