Two years ago our girl dogs came to live with us.
It’s been interesting, frustrating, funny and rewarding.
They’re not nearly as well-trained and obedient as I had hoped they would be by now…..
But they are much better than I ever thought they would be.
I know longer tell Bonnie what a ‘bad girl’ she is while I pet her.
She still runs away, but not as far, and now she comes back a wee bit faster when I call.
She still gets a little confused about some of the commands – when I put her in a ‘stay’ she only stays until I get too far away or she thinks it’s time for the treat. Then she comes charging at me and sits.
Guapa was always better at the commands.
So good, in fact, that she constantly tries to guess what’s next. If I’m not fast enough to suit her in our training sessions she does what she thinks will get her a treat. Sometimes she bounces from a ‘sit’ to a ‘down’ to a ‘sit’ to a ‘down’ so fast I’m laughing too hard to actually get back to work.
Regardless of how good they are in the actual training sessions, though, it still doesn’t seem to carry through to real life – like when the refrigerator-repair guy came to the house today and my commands to sit fell on deaf ears.
Remember how cute they were when they were just little puppies?
