A GOOD Dog story...we could use one!
I just thought with all the doodle illness/accidents that we could use a good story.
We have neighbors who let their dog run the "neighborhood". Ok, we live in the country, and not a subdivision so the "neighborhood" is a long ways. They've had numerous complaints but to no avail. His name is "Buster and he's a Norwegian Elk Hound (did I spell that right?). He came over to our house this morning, nothing unusual. This morning though, Cinnamon was in an energy mode. I don't know why, maybe it was the snow. Anyway, I let her out of the back yard to play (we live a good 400 feet off the road) and they did play. Racing around the yard, wrestling, mostly chasing each other. They quit for a breather and Buster starts to wander toward the road, which is a real busy road in and out of town. Speed limit is a suggested 55mph. I call Cinnamon and she came right up to me and went into the back yard, just like she was supposed to. No looking back to see if I was serious, just came right to me. She's been through the "you don't go past this spot" daily, so I know it was repetition that did it. Buster changed his mind and went home, too. Now that's the good part of the story!! |

Re: A GOOD Dog story...we could use one!
Cinnamon, you are not only a good doodle but a good influence on your friends.
Congratulations on some good training! Charlie and Wayne play off-leash in a nearby park. One side borders a fairly busy street and while they know not to go near the street and respond to my whistle, I'm always a little nervous when they get down to that side of the park. We find it best to stay far away from the busy street and not push our luck. Deb

Way to go Cinnamon! What a good girl....Charlie's still struggling (alright...CHALLENGING
  ) the concept of doing what he's told straight away without considering what's in it for him  so he's on 'boot camp' training at the moment!
