We took Art to the dog park, just like usual, and for the last 2 days someone there has manhandled Artimis. I'm so proud of him though, he handled it with grace!
Yesterday, this one guy PICKED ART UP RIGHT OFF THE GROUND!! >_< Then proceeds to try and play KISSY FACE with him! :yikes: What did my (as far as my sister says) "people aggressive" dog do? Give the guy kisses as his slightly people aggressive mom ran over and politely asked the guy to put my dog down. So, I'm proud of him and me, I didn't bite the guy and neither did Art! whoohoo!
Then today Art was walking passed this lady and she leans down, practically grabbing him and starts petting him. This time it wasn't bad because Art was wagging his tail furiously and leaning into her. Usually Art just dodges the approaching hands and keeps going like nothing happened. Well.... Success! ^_^
I've gotta say, we've come a long way since the Barking, growling, monster!
Also, The regulars are in Love with Artimis. I got requests to breed him after showing off a bit of his tricks One person said they wished he was not neutered so they could have a little one of him and all I could say was "Um...No. You really don't." LOL
All in all, lots of success lately and wish I hadn't forgotten my camera!
