The other day we were shopping and the Mr. growled ‘leave it’ at me when I stopped to look at something!

Gotta make you laugh! (there, there, don’t cry!)

Stop encouraging him, GLP. 🙂

I may even throw wyatt in there as it will push me to work more on his retriever training. Thanks for the challenge

Although, I don’t have a dog, I can try them on my pet guinea pigs. They may be harder to train but they do fall into habitual patterns. The ‘Happy Touch’ suggestion should definitely help for skittishness and nervousness. Hmmm, maybe I should try perfect this technique on my husband first… 🙂

i just read your post that was in Kristine’s To Read List. i must have missed it because it was published while i was away. I’m glad i caught up with it! it’s so true. i’m guilty of making up stories, but i do try to move on from there.

sorry i couldn’t comment on THAT post but it didn’t give me the option to do so.

Not good enough, I say! We’re going to practice it until she gets it right or her shoulders give out!

Okay, I am not really a slave driver. In truth, Shiva probably wishes we trained more than we actually do. That’s why I love the idea of a challenge to motivate me further. I need to get working a lot more than she does.

But now that you mention it, I am still attempting to work with the cat, so maybe that could be part of our challenge as well. Maybe I should come up with a trick they could perform together… I’d better get on it!

Thanks again for putting all this together. And thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks for the idea!

But you had me convinced from the get-go, I can’t wait to get started!

I like this lazy person’s guide… I am, after all, a lazy person. I’m going to come up with something, just haven’t figured it out yet. 🙂
