Tink's Mom · 01-12-2009, 07:24 PM

Oh dear! Tink's an Obedience School Never-Been kid. Every time I've been ready to take her, something has happened to either me or her. I fear she will always be a brat and it's all my fault. I've spoiled her to rottenness - but not to worry, she doesn't stink.

She only does her commands if she thinks she's gonna get a treat. She refuses to hear the word "come", and resists the "stay" command with all her might although she has been known to occassionally succumb.

Tink, Tink, Tink, what shall I do with you?! Just love you to pieces I guess.

Hi TK...just dropping in to make sure you are still alive and well!!!
Susie, it's never too late to teach your Tinker brat the simplest commands.
Winston is really a very quick learner...he just never graduated, but again that's my fault, not his. I think our town is too small to have different classes for different types of dogs/pups. The teacher never took an interest in the little guys, didn't seem to really care if they were there or not. I understand the importance in training the larger breeds as those are the ones that could do the most damage...but still, the little ones need guidance as well....

Kathy...how is Winston tonight? I found out Champaigne vet school doesn't have a neurologist...closest one is Chicago.

Those puppies are SO darn cute!!! How much fun you must be having.

Tinka went to her 2nd class tonight and she gets to move up to level 2 next week! Yippee!!! I stopped at Burger King on the way home and got a Whopper Jr. and let her a few tiny bites of the meat for her reward. I love Whoppers... I don't eat them very often at all but I have loved them since I was a kid.

Susie - it's ok to use treats at first and then as they learn, you quit using them. To pass to level 2, Tinka had to do the simple commands without any treats and it wasn't a problem even though we use them for training at first.

How is our little Tink doing now a days? Any further problems at all?

Wow, thanks for the info...do you think they have a Nutritionist? That's what I think...hope, he needs. Just asked hubby how far away it was...he wasn't certain, but thought a couple 3-4 hours. Chicago...hmmm...

He has low blood sugar seizures...I think. Has anyone of you heard of hunting dog syndrome...sounds just like him except he's not hunting when it happens. Just running around crazy like any other Yorkie...I'm still doing my research. So much to read and learn...I'll probably end up home feeding...if I can get the right information for proper nutrition.

Kathy...I'll see what I can find out from my vet and let you know if you want me to.

Here's the webpage for the U of I Vet School contact info. Maybe you can call and see if they have a nutritionist.
