for the lovers of corgi artwork as well

There is a wonderful book.. a comic book or graphic novel if you will called Korgi. My Fiance bought it for me about a month or so after i got Favorite. This book is the best book you will ever find. It is illustrated by a wonderful artist named Christian Slade who fell in love with the breed after he met his wife Ann who already had one. He realized that corgis were the best dog ever.. thier character and thier love of mischief made it easy to want to draw them. I get that same itch sometimes b… Continue

therapy

So when i first got Favorite and brought her home she was a spaz. I was ready for that and now after 14 mos with me she is one of the best behaved dogs i have ever met. I have been told by people that she would be a good therapy dog. I never paid much mind to that because i figured that it would be way to much work for us. with me working 40 hrs a week and planning a wedding and my sister just had a baby etc. Well last night i was reading online about therapy dogs and the steps it takes to get t… Continue

It's hard to teach my dogs to do anything because if I talk to one, the other one gets in the way and it all gets confusing. I'm lucky that mine are basically well-mannered dogs or it would be total chaos around here!

At 7:04pm on June 29, 2009, ilovestubbylegs said…: I am amazed at how you got pictures of your dog with the cookie and toy sitting on her nose. What a good dog she is! I need to teach my dogs a few tricks.

At 3:45pm on June 24, 2009, Cheryl and Bella said…: I would also like to add Congratulations on your wedding..not sure of the date, but its wonderful news! Best wishes!
Thanks for the tip on the dog training book. Bella is extremely intelligent and extremely unwilling to stay still long enough to learn anything. She did learn how to "sit" and she loves green beans (good tip for me too! :) I will buy the book, as I am at a loss at what to do and I have a book, "no bad dogs...but the techniques seem a little extreme and I'm not sure that I want to be jerking her neck on a steel collar. In fact, I know I don't! Hope there is a kinder way to train her. She is such a little ball of crazy love... She is biting me one minute and kissing me the next... Still very much a puppy at just 6 months. :D TTly! xxx Cheryl and Bella xxx

At 2:48am on May 4, 2009, Geri & Sidney said…: Sure, Sid is one year and 9 months old. I really don't know how we would have taught Sidney without the great trainers at Kindred Spirits training. Really, a good class will help so much with the excitement when it come to other dogs and people. At times I would think "wow, they're so tough" but Sidney is a very well behaved young man now.

At 2:19am on May 4, 2009, Geri & Sidney said…: Hi Kimber!
We are in a group class. There are about seven or eight dogs in class. My daughter (age 17) is Sidney's trainer; I'm just there to watch and support them (and pay for the class, LOL).
The first class was a review of basic obedience. All the dogs have to have sit, down, stand, sit-stay, down-stay, wait, stay and heel down really well.
Next they introduced the dogs to canes, walkers and wheelchairs. Since these things are foreign to most dogs, they want them to be comfortable and not shy away. Sidney was nervous around the walker, so they gave us one to bring home and get him used to it.
Second class we saw if they were better used to the cane, walker and chair, and they started learnign how to approach persons in these situations, and also how to stand still to be petted. The owners learned how to position their dogs so the people don't bang them on the head or scare the dogs. Since Sidney is too short to be petted by a person using a wheelchair or walker, he is learning the command "paws up" so he can get on his hind legs and put his legs up on a chair or the brace of a walker. Corgis are different in that they are too big to be lifted and too short to stand on the ground!
That is what we've done so far, in two classes. Oh, many dogs have to re-learn "leave it" because many people who therapy dogs visit have toys, or have food hidden in pockets, etc. The dogs have to know it's NOT ok to take those things!

At 11:15am on May 3, 2009, Cheryl and Bella said…: Any special book you can reccommend for training? She is still so excitable at 5 mos. that I am having problems training her to sit. I know she is very intelligent, she gets excited when I pull out a treat.l was hoping she would learn something by watching Lexie when I ask her to sit. I try to place the treat in a way that she has to sit to get it and then praise her. I read that a ton of praise is in order. Lucky you (and your hard work) that you were able to train Favorite so easily. I need to get started on it. I want to make it fun for her!
Thanks for the tip on canned green beans. I forgot all about them and it wouldn't hurt me either to lose 5 lbs so I will stock up on them this week.
You're so nice..Thanks!!

At 10:30pm on April 28, 2009, Cheryl and Bella said…: I know what you are saying...about the corgi smile. Mine is always so happy, which makes me feel happy too. My cocker spaniel has sad droopy eyes and looks sad, but I know its just the way she looks. Bella is only 5 months old and already "signals" with her eyes what wants. She's very obvious about it. If I don't catch on .. she lets out a bark or corgi-speak...lol.
Favorite is a beautiful girl and very photogenic. Your sister took some really cool pics of her.
I hope to have more time to train Bella. She is still young and so playful. I'm not sure what age to train, but am trying now to teach her little things. She is ornery and still doing the frenetic puppy run....So much fun!
