OMG, this guy let all my tricks out of the bag!
This was my second time
meeting Mr. Jeff. Besides being a dog trainer,
he owns a holistic pet care and supply store called Paradise Pet, Inc. You can
visit him at his store, which is located at 48 West Passaic Ave in
Bloomfield, NJ. He is a good guy and he does a lot of great work assisting my
breed to find loving furever homes, plus educating people about us. You
can check him out at:

He may be a good guy but
I didn't appreciate all the lessons he was teaching Mama and Dad. I am going to
have a hard time pulling the wool over their eyes. (Why would I want to put a
sweater on Mama’s eyes? Humans have very unusual sayings.) Hopefully, I will be
able to display a bad manner once in a while. I will do my best to try and
contain myself though.
Mr. Jeff showed my
parents how to walk me while keeping me close to them; how to let up on the lead
when they want to give me some sniff time; and how
to administer corrections while we are on our walks. Mama and
Dad practiced with me today.
I haven’t been upfront
and personal with any dogs since I moved in with my new family. Today, I experienced
my closes encounter with one. Maggie and
her dad were gracious to work with us to help Mr. Jeff show Mama and Dad what
to do when I am confronted by a four-legged creature. Boy, my anxiety level was
running high; so was Maggie’s. It turned out to be a worthwhile trial. Maggie
and I aren’t friends yet, but we didn’t hurt each other during the meet and
greet. As Mama would say, “we made progress!”
Mr. Jeff explained to my
parents that they are the leaders, not me. Ouch, did that hurt to hear! He gave
Mama and Dad a lot of tips to help maintain alpha status in our family.
Mama enforces in me that
good manners is a must. The three of us will be practicing our manners and
leadership skills.
I hope if you see me
around I won’t alarm you. I really am a love bug.
Wish us luck!
Woof, woof, till later...
