Flu going, around with this type made do beach swung toy then you can use it to play the bonus that Dom show you the following two lectures. Any game that gets your dog using his nose is a good one.

A few times now Cash has had a hard time jumping into the car. If it's a new, higher car he often misses, and if he's tired at the end of a work day, for instance he also misses. Lo and behold, one day a dog ramp showed up on doorstep! listened when I talked about poor Cash, and bought him a ramp. Surprise! However, I happen to know Cash is VERY afraid of anything that gives under his feet, and if it's high it's even worse. I decided I'd need to train him on the ramp. Most of these videos ended up on the and Cash Facebook but I thought I'd collect them all here, too! Note that I didn't do any training without filming it, and I tried to say during filming how it had been since the last session. Proof that training doesn't have to be arduous or time consuming! Note for above video: I repotted the sad strawberry plant, and it was happy! Until a squirrel tried to bury something the pot, tore the up roots, and broke that pot, too. Damn. these two final videos, we didn't want him jumping into the car because he was getting tired quickly, and the last thing I wanted was to make him sore! this first video you'll hear and me say I grabbed his collar and pulled to get him the rest of the way the car. From I couldn't easily wrap arm around him to help him forward and he was risking falling off. The kinder option then was to pull and get him to safety! After this final session I didn't use the ramp for at least two weeks, and then of course Quin wasn't there to help bracket he didn't leap off the side! I used hand on his collar for guidance and he went albeit hesitantly. Since then he's used it to get up and down several times, and his confidence is back even though I didn't train or drill him on it again! If at some point his confidence wanes, then I'll have him go up and down it a few times until his confidence comes back. His gorgeous, glossy coat comes from regular washing and brushing provided by yours truly AND of Puppy Dog Grooming, a mobile groomer Los Gatos! I trust dogs with few people, but Cash visits her for spa days where she helps keep his skin happy. 🙂 aging, cash, training, training unusual conditions, videos Hey, all! The other day while Doc, Cash and I were enjoying some and running the dog park, I thought, Hey! I could totally use this group of dogs for body language clips! I took a bunch of 3 second clips, and here we have some of them! to come as I have time. Both have high tails and relaxed spines The dog on the right also has more bounce to his step and tail. Bounce play. Taking all into account, both dogs are ready to engage but only one of them is ready to play. The other probably would like to explore, visit, and relax! There's much going on here! Start with the chocolate lab: high tail wants to engage, the tail is relaxed-ish, but the spine is very stiff I would worry, except look at his ears:
