Thor's Human Donating Member | ![]() Today a skateboard passed within ten feet of Thor, and he didn't bark a word! I had been noticing recently that Thor was better around skateboards, but usually they were a ways away, or travelling away from us (as opposed to a skateboard menacing him directly). Today there was no doubt about it, Thor is calmer around them. He still alerts on them, but I have enough time to praise him lavishly and scatter treats all over the ground. He has firmly concluded that praise and free food are a better option than going berserk. Some of you probably won't believe this, but it only took three years!!! ![]()

| ![]() Way to go Thor. Make mommy proud. He is just sooooo cute. I have always loved his coloring. Dudley's mom is that color. I am hoping he will be when he gets older. Wish my Dudley minded and was trained as well as little Thor. Dudley barks at everything. Even bugs. |

As long as it took, it was really nice to see definitive progress. Sometimes it seems like whatever issues the dog comes with, he'll have all his life. To top it all off, Thor has finally met a potential dog buddy! We met a little chi/pom mix on Sunday, and Thor actually made some tentative play gestures. I made a date with her mommy for next Sunday! Also, the head of the rescue I volunteer for said I could bring Thor by for socialization whenever they get a young, friendly dog.

| ![]() Woooohoooo! Go Thor, Go Thor! You are so lucky to have a mommy that cares about you so much and keeps up with your training. See, it was all worth it! ![]() That is awesome progress and I am so happy he's made a canine pal.

Thor's Human Donating Member | ![]() Okay, tonight a skateboard went RIGHT BY US. I panicked and dumped out a entire bag of treats on the ground in front of Thor. He did let out one snotty little yap, but that was it!!! I think he's cured!

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | ![]() Proof is in the pudding! Not sure why that means what it means, but in Thor's case it seems to fit. He's such a smart boy.

| ![]() Way to go Thor! Perhaps there is hope for Uni. She hates skateboards almost as much as her mommy does.
