| Also, I have to be very quiet right now. Why? Charlie is STILL in the bedroom, under the covers sleeping so I don't want to piss him off by waking him up - talk about a life! [/QUOTE] LMAO!!!!!! Way too funny!

We went through the don't wake him up days. It's hard on us being mid 60s and having a new puppy. Wish I could have gotten some of his energy those first few months. Buddybear loves people and other dogs. I would love to get another one but dh says one is enough. Don't know if I could go through being retrained again.

| Dang buddybear - never thought of putting on Animal Planet. We are in our "very very high 60s" so understand you completely. Charlie is our last newbie to this family. OMG - couldn't imagine another with what Charlie is putting us through...

| Well - since many are enjoying Charlie's antics - here is another. Every time I try to pick Charlie up to go out for a ride, walk, etc. - I say lets go "BYE BYE" at the door and he comes over to me. The moment I try to pick him up he gets just out of my reach and sits like he is ready to be picked up. UNFORTUNATELY, the moment this old fart bends over to pick him up he starts running around daring me to catch him! It is getting old so the wife and I just go into the garage and close the door. Charlie starts barking, I open the door and he lets me pick him up. That is getting old so yesterday (the first time) I did my "BYE BYE" - he came over and sat - I reached for him - he starts with his "catch me if you can" - but yesterday we surprised him. We left! Yes, the wife and I put on our big boy pants and left him home with him barking behind the door. Now, normally we close off and leave him in the recreation room (his pee pad, water, supply of toys, etc. are in that room) and can monitor him with a NestCam on my cellphone. Every time I pulled up the room - no Charlie! Apparently, he avoided the room. The entire time we are wondering what that turkey is doing - peeing all over the house? Tearing apart the furniture? Knocking over his water bowl? An hour later we returned, he greeted us at the door screaming and running around and seemed to forgive us. I made my room-by-room check - a few of his 10,000 stuffed animals repositioned (wife seems to buy him another animal everyday!) - all seems well. Today, we have to take another run - will go into my "BYE BYE" mode and see what happens.

| The 'walk-away' is an amazing tactic! Personally, as necessary, I've employed the backward walk-away when asking Piper to come. She's totally shocked that anyone, ever, would actually choose to move from her...In addition, as I move out of her sight, her curiosity wins out over her stubbornness (believe me that's saying something). I, too, am north of 60 and am certain that yorkies are the answer to staving off old age--physically, for sure and mentally...well, one must stay sharp just to keep up with these lil' guys. As for staying one step ahead---I'm resigned to that being an unattainable goal; the silly dream of uninitiated, brand new owner of an adult yorkie. Nowadays, I think I'm all that 'cuz I'm keeping up with Piper! By the way, watching Animal Planet is fun, but I'm thinking you all starring in an Animal Planet series Life With Charlie or something--now that'd be good tv! HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours! |

| Well, ole Charlie hasn't learned about "BYE BYE" yet. He went into his "catch me if you can" mode - so, we left again. When we got home we saw him sitting on the front window sill (we have steps going up to it) watching the world go by... Dang - that turkey is born into retirement! Jkpal - I wish he wasn't the answer to staving off old age!

| And remember, during those all too brief respites from Charlie vocalizing, try to fit in praise...When Piper stops with the 'demand' barking, I'll stop what I'm doing and tell she's a good, good girl to be quiet. Once-in-a-great-while, when she's quieted, I'll surprise her with a little treat. Insofar as using a collar to control barking, I'd check with Wylie's Mom, as she is a wonderfully loving, compassionate, and wise woman who truly knows her stuff (and in past posts has recommended a certain collar). You can always PM Wylie's Mom... |

| Thanks Jkpal - the wife always say's Good Boy when he stops barking but he just starts up again. One time he stopped and she tried to give him a treat - he just ignored it and started barking again - it is like he zones out. But, we will keep trying. I found a thread about using a "dog whistle" to help. I bought one - blew that puppy and he stopped - looked around and started up again. Tried the whistle - no further affect. Charlie ONE Whistle ZERO. I will look up Wylie's Mom - thanks for the suggestion.
