| My best tip is playing the game "trade". Bailey is really bad for finding things she shouldn't have and running away withthem. When I tried to come after her, she would hide under the bed. One day, she took something out of the trash and started to run. I said in a playful voice "Bailey trade" and went to her treat bag. She brought me the garbage, dropped it took her treat and went off happy. We now always play the trade game in those situations.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I do the same thing with Joey, but have used the word "cheerio". I like the idea of using the word "trade" instead. It's great because I don't have to chase him around the house when he gets something bad. Nancy |

| Same thing with mine except I ask if they want a treat. Immediately they drop it. Must be a yorkie thing. |

| Chewy comes up to me and chewy's really wide like he has to show me he had something!!! Then we are on! I try getting him to come and there is just NO WAY... so he goes for the treat. The new thing is I have to throw a treat to let him see what yummy treat it is.. then I get him to come with another one! Little stinker!

| Take your dog on a 3-4 mile walk. Rosie behaves a lot better when we consistently take her on walks. Right now she is so exhasted that she is sleeping right next to me. If I don't take her on walks then she won't let me be on YT |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I agree exercise really helps. If you can't take a long walk, I found that Joey loves to play chase the dust mop. He can get a lot of exercise without wearing me out. Another tip, I took a pack of receiving blankets when picking up Joey. The breeder rubbed each blanket on the Joey's mother (I hate calling her a bitch), I kept the blankets in a plastic bag to keep the scent, giving Joey one for his bed. After washing a blanket, I just put it in the bag with the others and took out a "scented" one. I think this helped Joey adapt to his new home. When he goes to the vet to be fixed, I plan to put a blanket with my scent in his carrier. Dog's noses are like our eyes and ears. Nancy P.S. Any tips on remembering heartworm medication? Taking good photos? |

| For good pictures.....what I do is put one of their treats on my camera....and they know they have to sit pretty for their teat! LOL! So when I take their picture, it looks like they are looking into the camera, but in reality, they are looking at that darn treat! LOL! But hey...it works! Works like a charm every time! YAY!

| Remembering heartworm medication? Quote:
Nancy .... I give Toto's heartworm medication on her birthdate, i.e., the 18th! I habitually forgot until I started doing this, now I always remember the 18th of every month!!
