Behind the Times

Jeannie has a lot of work cut out for her and Nathan if she is going to be ready for class tomorrow night. It may be comedy hour. Just too much going on this last week to do practicing so we are quickly trying to play recovery.

Bed Head?

I have to say I woke poor Jeannie up and this is what I got.

She's missing Tangles and Timmy for sure. She likes when people bring their dogs here to play and we love talking to the humans.

Irma and Dick - a real delight.

Jeannie is getting her naps in is Timmy?

I Want It

No photo today but I was eating popcorn and Jeannie wanted some. She barked at me demanding I give her some. I corrected her. She barked again - a persistent thing. Then we started doing training without treats till she settled into it and I then added the treats. I used distraction and correction in a positive way.

For some reason Miss Bossy Pants thinks she can tell you bark, bark, bark I best get that.

She will learn that it won't. She just keeps trying it different ways in case I change my mind. She's a step over the line dog. :-)

All Attitude

She thinks she is all that.... that's all I have to say today!

Back to Updates

Jeannie has become a 'bark' this is what I want gal.

We are correcting this as it is not a behavior you want to encourage but some will try it out to see what your reaction is. If you give in it will escalate.

You never ever give them what they want when they are exhibiting ill behavior.

That doesn't mean we don't love her. We do.

Remember rules, limitations and boundaries with consistency is real love done in a positive way.

She is still a baby and will get there.

Run, Run

I am not going to update Jeannie's blog any longer until this Spice pup issue has resolved itself. I will talk about her in the All About Dogs blog when something fun happens and will post there when this blog resumes. I hope you understand!

Fun Daze

Jeannie and Timmy are having a blast but I think Timmy is coveting Tangles (Paula's pup from Abigail's litter). I will have to get Nathan to take photos of Jeannie and Timmy so we can post.

Jeannie is the only dog that doesn't mind that I am not sleeping at night, I swear. She is a total Daddy's gal. The rest miss me and show it.

Jeannie

She gets so excited to see me and can't understand why I have these strange sleeping patterns.

She had a blast outside playing with the pups and with the Roxie. Then when Timmy came - oh boy real fun. We will try to get photos of that tomorrow.

No more to report.

My Toy

Jeannie thinks its her toy, Magic thinks its hers.

Abigail is observing to see if she has to correct. It's a usual day. :-)

My Toy

Jeannie thinks its her toy, Magic thinks its hers.

Abigail is just observing this interaction waiting to see if she has to correct the young ones.
