That’s right, Rita! Better get that wine ready. Actually, I think we deserve a case! Get this—WE were invited back!!!
I was asked if I was going to sign the Big Z up for the next class. The Big Z has such great working ability, blah, blah, blah, and she would do really good there. I said the Big Z was headed to MI to be with Da Poppa after this.
I did mention that I have a young male that I’ve been working with who would really benefit from the distractions. However, I’d have to bring him on a prong collar (deadly sin there). “OH, that’s NO problem—BRING HIM!!” “YOU could work him on a prong!” bwaaahahah!!! Oh gosh—I’m still laughing over this one.
Of course, during class I was told that the Big Z is still way too exuberant. I said, no that’s just the way me and Da Poppa want her. I am not about to correct a dog for running too quickly to me no matter who’s in charge. Yeah, right. After the Scarlett/Kai incident, could you see me training with Nasty and The Director in one of the advanced classes?
Next week is our final week at O-Town. The Big Z is ready for that certificate! 🙂
Has anyone mentioned to these people that training your dog is supposed to be fun?
LOL good point Lee…or that your dog is suppose to be happy to go running to you!
Fun? Really? You need to search back about a year or so and look at some of the pix I took of Baby Syd at this place. Sour pusses on all. There is no fun in dog training here. Their training methods are more humane than what AKC type trainers had years ago, but it is this same mentality that led me to quit AKC obedience.
I’d rather have a happy, silly dog who could possibly make an ass out of me than one who is afraid to come running in. We have working and thinking dogs. Why on earth would we want to ruin that?
Hey Carole, I smell a job opening for you-ha ha. You could re-write the O-Town traing book they refer to.
I think you should show up with a prong and a sleeve and Rita should extend the payoff on the wine bet to see if you get kicked out w/dog #2 😉 What do you think?
Absolutely not! Enduring one round of O-Town is plenty.
Your fans will be so disappointed-no more weekly O-Town newsletters ;(
Ha ha!!! I LOVE IT!!! I’ll get a box…I mean a bottle….out to you asap! Is Boone’s Farm ok? 🙂
Better ship it to Julie’s—I’ll be in the area for a little while. Boone’s Farm? Do they still make that stuff?!!
