Hello all! I have a few things to update about, and a few things to rant about. # 1- Bruce is not doing too well with the puppy pads. We are trying really hard.. moving him to the pad when we catch him about to go, etc. He will go on the pad when we are in the kitchen but when we are out...

Well, I knew it was too good to be true. The first three days of him being at home he went on the puppy pads every time. Yesterday- he had around 3-4 accidents! I was able to catch him and put him on the pads a few times.. but one or two of the times he just sat down next to me and then got...

Bruce really has little interest of eating from the bowl. He sees where it is- and will look at it when I put the food it.. but then he zooms zooms away. I have been using this as bonding/charging the clicker time and have been giving him pellets after a click from my hand/ throwing them so...

Well.. I woke up at 6:00 this morning- drove 2 and 1/2 hours- and picked up my little angel. We are home now, I am sitting on the floor while he is playing with his elephant. My goodness is he a doll! He LOVES people. I had some friends drop by to see him, and he was not shy at all! He...

Here is his new collar and ID tag! The tag looks a bit off because I tried to get my phone number off of it. You can see the pixels ;) Na na na na na na na...BAT DOG!!!

Hello! I have had a few people tell me different things, so I thought I'd ask here. Some people say feed puppies lunch until 12 weeks. Some say don't worry about feeding the puppies lunch. Which is it? My plan is to give the puppy breakfast in the morning through a kong toy, and give...

Hello! I have been trying to figure out the BEST way to approach the puppy biting. I found this video from kikopup.. which I think is good to show that a reaching hand = do not bite. HOWEVER, how do you stop during play or when you are NOT reaching for him? (etc. sitting on a couch, etc)...

Have you guys ever come across a person (or people) who just don't get training why you would train dog? My boss laughed at me yesterday when I was telling her about clicker training and positive reinforcement. SNow granted, this girl is someone who was a psych major so SHOULD understand...

Well, this isn't nearly as exciting as a puppy picture- but lookie what the UPS man brought me today! I am getting all set up for Bruce's arrival! Isn't his couch adorable? :) I LOVE the collar and leash also. Ignore the quality of the pictures. My droid didn't want to cooperate...

Hello all! I came up with an idea to teach Bruce to stay away from the chinchilla cage. I was thinking of having him on a leash with a tighter grip so he couldn't GET to the Chinchilla cage. I would click him everytime he looks at me instead of shows interest to the cage. Basically my...

I sent this picture via text to a friend of mine who responded... "I thought you were getting a dog! That's an Ewok." yes my friend, it is an ewok. An ewok dog. OoooO! Don't be jealous or hating. :rofl1: Look at the cute sleeping Ewok! His breeder says thats his favorite position to...

Okay so I decided to start a blog to talk about Bruce! I am a psych. major and very interested in positive reinforcement and clicker training. I've never done it before- so I plan on recording the sessions and talking about them, talking about Bruce's progress.. ideas.. etc. etc. Right...

Really great youtube video channel with some click training examples. I'm in the midst of going through them. I thought it was a good reference. Enjoy! ‪hsinyicohen's Channel‬‏ - YouTube

I have no affiliation with this girl or her etsy store.. but I had to show you what I just ordered for my dog Bruce. Now remember, I named him after Batman. Ready? AWESOME RIGHT? Her ID tags are really really awesome as well. Dean Hornberger (thehappychihuahua) on Etsy As...

:rofl1::rofl1::rofl1::rofl1::rofl1: Wow. I was looking up dog carriers last night, and my fiancee saw this open on my computer screen. I was just staring at it in disbelief. He then said "If you are considering getting that, I am moving out." Edit* I think this is RIDICULOUS and would not...

He looks unhappy. :rofl1: According to her text message- and I quote.. "He wasn't a HAPPY CAMPER.." Also... here is the video my fiance made of our first meeting with Bruce! Meeting Bruce! I don't consider myself a patient person to begin with, but waiting until August 20th to pick...

This thing looks amazing. Anyone know anything about it? Will my dog try to jump out if I keep the top unzipped when out walking? ha. Sleepypod® Home I just had to share. I ooo and ahhh'd at it, but thought you guys would probably have a better idea about it- or suggest a more...

Hello all! I just want to ask your opinion and possibly mold this routine to be the best fit for my situation. I spoke to some amazing people in the chat room yesterday who helped as well... So heres my deal. I get Bruce August 20th. We live in an apartment. I am only only flight of...

Hi! I am getting a Brussels on August 20th! I am SO excited! :) I wanted to see if anyone here has a Brussels? From what I read- they are difficult to potty train, so I am keeping my fingers crossed on that one! Ha! :rofl1: I know they just have the greatest little personalities. A...
