I was sat thinking yesterday, about all the stuff we post on here about. My dog bites, my dog pulls, my dog jumps up.... And i think we fail to praise what they DONT do or no longer do something they used to! So I made this for anyone who wants to post something they are proud there dog doesn't do, it makes you feel better! Rolo doesn't eat things he shouldn't! I have never had to worry about a sock or a plastic bag or stones as he spits everything out! He no longer cries when he goes in his crate He doesn't dig the garden anymore (touch wood) ''People tell you never to look back, but that is the only way to see how far you have come!'' Always remember to praise yourself and your dog for progress you make along the journey together
This is such a nice idea Pepper doesn't chew up any of my stuff, she has never growled at me (not even a play growl when playing tug), she only jumps up at me when I'm dancing (and she wants to join in bless her) and not for treats or food anymore, she is a lot better at giving back toys when playing catch.
Ah, hard to think back as we've been living the adult dream for awhile now! Things she doesn't do anymore: - Eat cigarette butts or gum from the ground - pull/lunge/cry to get to sport games we walk by (baseball and soccer mostly) - ignore her recall - pick up shoes or socks - cry to go out early morning
Homer doesn't chew shoelaces anymore. He doesn't pull on the lead as much. He doesn't wake us up at 5:55am anymore demanding breakfast and a play.
Great idea @Jyssica. Plum doesn't eat her own poo anymore! Hooray! Still eats every other bugger's, just not her own
Lovely thread @Jyssica . Cassie doesn't : Wake me up in the morning, dig the garden, pull washing of the line, chew things she shouldn't have, (the last 3 not yet anyway, bark unnecessarily, bark or cry in the car, demand her food at certain times, cry or bark when left alone.
Coco doesn't eat dog poo. He doesn't lunge at joggers or cyclists. Or walkers (without dogs). Coco doesn't get up very early.
Xena has never pulled washing from the line, even though she has been able to since she was 7 weeks old (the line runs alongside some decking, the "short" end where I hang socks and knickers has always been within reach of her). She has never eaten dog poo - other poo is fair game. She no longer lunges after THE PEOPLE nor runs towards THE PEOPLE when she's off-lead. I wouldn't have thought this was possible 6 months ago but here we are! My ultimate goal is to have the same reaction for dogs, but it's really hard to see how this will ever happen. Remotes and cellphones also seem to be safe *finally*
Ella has never taken washing off the line and has never destroyed her bed. She also no longer runs up to people when off lead and no longer jumps up at people.
.....bark in our faces every time we sit down to relax .....pull on the lead .....bite at our hands and faces .....de-upholster furniture
Squidge doesn't wee inside anymore! Shadow doesn't wriggle on the bed (as much) anymore. Willow - well, Willow is my perfect girl who doesn't put a foot out of line. Ahem.
