Dog training : fears of balloons

  

  

       I have found a new fear, BALLOONS! Two 

     members of my pack had a birthday and there

     they were, just floating in the air. So all day my

     owner has been trying to help me face my fears,

     but all I want to do is hide in my kennel ( or 

     under the table,under the couch, or in my 

     owner's bed ). Worst of all , shadow has been

     trying to steal all of the attention from the pack.

     

The Halter collar

  

         Today I was working with my owner using the

    Halter collar. I tend to listen better with this 

    then the regular collar( which I'm wearing under it).

    Yet it is not as ruff as the pincher collar. Of course,

    the Halter gets on my nerves more. Then I start doing

    this wired run jump thing until my owner stops me.

Kennel training

     Oh great, my owner has been working on

   kennel training lately. That means, he's looking

   for resons to sick me in here. Now when 

   someone goes to run the vacuum cleaner,

   I get stuck in here. To top that of, my owner

   says this is good training for a dog show. 

   When he says that,he's talking about when

   I get stuck in here between events (Rally, 

   obedience, and showmanship).

Dog training at the park

     Today I was doing dog training at the park. Right now

   I'm sitting in the heel position, watching my owner for 

   the next command. Yet best of all, when I do good I 

   a chicken liver treat. And to think, all I have to do is look

   up at him.

Nerves of Steel

 

    My owner won't let me eat until I sit here for 

  a full minute. He says that he is working on my

  nerves of steel. I say,let's eat so fast that are

  heads are blurry.

Food training

     

           Great, I had to do dog training before

       I could eat today. Meanwhile, the fat border 

       collie ( Shadow ) got to gorge her self on dog 

       food. What is wrong with my owner?
