EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION ON TRAINING DOGS... THAT. IS FOR SURE...PLEASE... LET US GIVE CREDENCE TO ANY OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERIOUSLY TRAINED DOGS.--------- BETWEEN ANGRY PHONE CALLS ABOUT HAVING JIMINEY WITH THE PUPS AND WHY THAT WAS SO WRONG. TO THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I SHOULD KEEP THE 3 PUPS IN SEPERATE CRATES.... IT WAS A LONG DAY... .
TODAY.......I HOPE WE CAN LEAVE THE CAMERAS ON, BUT WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH WILSON. I LET THE CUTE LITTEL PUPPY GET OUT OF HAND--- IT HAPPENS... I KNOW BETTER ------- BUT. WE/STAFF.... DID NOT OFFER TO CORRECT OR DISCIPLINE HIM- AND JUST LET IT RIDE.. UNTIL SUNDAY WHEN HE HAPPLIY LEAPED AND CAUGHT MY HAND... MAKING A LARGE HOLE AND PRODUCING MUCH RED FLUID.... THAT MADE ME STOP AND RETHINK... THIS PLEASENT PUP WAS DOOMED TO BECOME A DANGEROUS DOG UNLES SOMEONE DID SOMETHING-- SO WITH BANDAGED HAND...... I SPENT 2 MORNINGS. 4 HOURS EACH SITTING ON THE FLOOR EXPLAINING TO HIM. .. THERE WERE LIMITS... HE MUST NOT APPROACH MY COFFEE CUP WAS THE FIRST,, SECOND WAS I AM HAPPY TO SHARE SOME OF MY BREAKFAST, BUT ONLY ON MY TERMS.
I HAVE HAD MANY EMAILS COMMENTING ON HOW INTERESTING IT IS TO WATCH THE PROCESS OF "DON'T TOUCH MY COFFEE-" - BUT I ALSO HAD A FEEW SAYING HOW PERVERTED OF ME TO SET MY COFFEE WHERE HE COULD REACH IT AND NOT LET HIM DO THAT ... THE DAY WENT ON ..I THINK FIRST WAS BENTLEY WHO SNARLLED THEN SNAPPED AT HIM. CAUSING ONE SMALL YELP--- SIZZLE CAUSED A BIGGER YELP AND JIMINEY SNARLED AND WILSON MOVED AWAY.. GETTING SHARPER...BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY HE WAS JUMPING AT LARKEY- WITH I=HIS TEETH.. SO BEFORE LARKEY BIT HIM I STEPPED IN AND CAUSED HIM TO DECIDE. BITING LARKEY WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA--- AND WENT TO LIE DOWN.
I AM STRUGGLING WITH STAFF TO GIVE WILSON AS MUCH FREEDOM AS WE CAN. THEY DON'T SEE A BARRIER OF A GATE AS LIMITING OR FRUSTRATING. TO SOME DEGREE THEY DON'T WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF WILSON GETTING HURT BY ONE OF THE ADULT DOGS.... BUT HE HAS TO LEARN TO SNIFF THE PROPER END IN ORDER TO BE ACCEPTABLE IN DOGGIE SOCIETY . IT IS A CHANCE.. LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE. HE'LL HOPEFULLY LEARN.
WHATEVER I DO... THERE WIL BE ONE PERSON-- TO ADD OR TWIST-- FOR WHATEVER REASON..I WISH ALL KNEW. WE HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY ANYONE AND EVERYONE... AND ONE GOVERNMENT AGENCY SAID-- "YOU CAN TELL SHE IS OK...HER DOGS LIKE HER AND SHOW NO FEAR"
I WILL CONTINUE TODAY.. WITH WILSON-- MY JOINTS WILL NOT TAKE TOO MUCH MORE SITTING ON T HE FLOOR..... BUT I WANT TO TRY A FEW MORE WILSON EXERCISES... LIKE LARKEY...
