Dog of The Day - March 26th 2013

Today I was announced Dog of The Day! That makes me feel really special since lately i've had to share all the spotlight with my new big sister Sweetie. I don't mind so much since all she really does is sleep and i get to eat a lot of her food.

I just wanted to make a note of this so I won't forget when I was dog of the day!

Thanks again Dogster!!

March Madness or Lack there of?

Not much to talk about in March. Mom and I are working more and more on my task training. She's so proud of me. I am almost a master at loose leash walking and have stopped wondering away from mom when she is talking with someone. Usually i just sit down or lay at her feet.

Soon we'll be doing one-one personal training classes to make sure i've really got this stuff down. Then it's off to the CGC test.

Doggy Day's of February

I passed Intermediate obedience class. Things got a little tight when i got distracted by my good friend Riley. He is a beagle also and likes to play with me at Daycare. But we were in the middle of doing a figure eight with loose leash walking in a heel and i saw him.

He saw me and started Rooing and baying. And of course that got me baying right back at him. A beagle has to do it. It's like someone saying hello. You gotta say hello back.

Mom paused in our walk and looked down at me. "Focus." I looked up at her and went back to her side and followed her around the chairs quietly.

My trainer was saying I've been doing really great. Everyone always comments that I'm so good in the stores (NOW). It makes mom blush and praise our trainer.

While at the dog park not too long ago. Mom became extremely anxious about something. I had been playing with one of my friends when it happened. Someone told mom later I jumped up on the bench and nudged my way onto her chest like she let me do before and licked her face. When Mom came back to us she made this gross face because i licked her. Mom isn't really into kisses that much.

People at the park were really amazed. But Mom gave me a pat on the head and we went home. She was a little embarrassed that it happened.

February was a very active month for us. Maybe this month won't be so bad either? I get to take advanced training and one on one training soon.

Wish me lots of luck,

Jake
