Arrival Story: We got Annie because my cat Chester was hit by a car in 07 and he was my best friend. He truly was a dog! We found Annie on Craigs List and I look at her Paperwork today and think "What a mess..." See, Annie was a dog that would chew, run away, hunt, ignore you, and just flat out wouldn't behave. She had 3-4 owners before us and is actually my first dog. Now I look back and think "What if it were different? What if things hadn't turned out like this?" but I'm sure glad that I ended up with this little girl! Some of the information I can provide is that I think she came from a good breeder, but I have nothing to assure that. There's a great potential she's from a Pet Store, but I can't assure that either! I look at the paperwork today and see that she got her first vaccinations in Prattsville, Arkansas when she was 14 weeks old, but that doesn't prove anything about the breeder! Trust me, I googled everything in Prattsville and there's nothing about a Puggle breeder at all... Maybe someday I'll contact the Verterinary Clinic and ask them to get me in touch with Annie's first family and ask why she gave such a sweet pup away, but that's a story for another day... I'm also looking back and seeing that her barkday is different on two papers... on one it's 4/blurred out number/07 and on my health history sheet it's 3/23/07. It's just very weird... I also see she had a surgery at a young age, deworming MANY times, and never got fixed till us, but we have no clue what that was about either... Anyway, most of her past is unknown, ummm... (and we got her at 9 months!!!!!) ALL of her past is unknown! But let's get onto what we do know... ********************************** ********************** She was adopted off Craigslist as you know fur about $200. Best $200 ever spent! She now know over 110 tricks and commands, but when she came all she knew was sit, and I mean ALL! She didn't know her name, recall, lay down, any other tricks, manners, or anything. It was really starting with the basics, but I didn't get into those basics till we moved to North Carolina from our first home in New Jersey. We moved to North Carolina and no longer had woods in our backyard, and I've taught Annie to not run away off leash. It's been a good 6-8 months since she's run away and we've lived here for a year Mid August! I can't believe how far she's come and from this little girl I now own my own dog-training business and I give half the thanks to Annie. (if you're wondering, the other half is to God)
Bio: Hi! I'm Annie! I'm a very talented girl with plenty over 100 tricks and commands, but I can also be very serious. Right now it's my duty to watch over Mama... Now, if any bad-guys see this lil' 25 lbs girl, they'd laugh! I'm concerned about everything that happens here and I know Mama is too... I think I pick it up from her! Anyway, I know that I need to watch out fur her and my kids also that play outside. My kids are of young age and like to hang out outside. I always sit on the couch by my window and watch out fur ANYTHING that could happen! My tackles stick up when they cross the road, I growl (yes, I growl) if another dog walks into the cul-de-sac, and when I'm watching out there, they like to use me to help play hide-and-seek because I know it's my job to track them down. I don't think I'd ever be aggressive at a person; that's just totally against my life. Mama could be if I told her, though! ********************************** * A bit more about me is that I just recently started Agility. I started it on September 2nd, 2009. It's an agility set that includes a pawz box, one adjustable jump, one open tunnel, and one set of 6 weaving poles. Mama owns her own dog training business and sometimes has to use that set fur other dogs, but she's sure to run me on it at least once everyday. So far, my best time is in 9.1 seconds (September 13th, 2009) but I'll bet I'll beat that tomorrow! I also like to hunt since I'm part Beagle. It's one of my most favorite things to do! If Mama says no, though, I know that that word means and I'm always sure to listen!

She can do give me that paw when she's sitting, laying down, standing, or laying on her side. She can also hide her rawhide for me to go and find and she'll find it as well. She's picture perfect on a leash and I've taught her to stand from the down possition. She trusts me enough now to let me hold her like a baby. 100!+ Tricks! Isn't she smart? Three or four different distant commands. Touch it to a new extent and leave it to a new extent too. I've been good. I guess the rest isn't tricks, but I can do various Seeing eye dog jobs. I literally walk Mama around the neighborhood with her eyes closed the whole time and then we get back home! She says I'm so amazing. I responds to many different words like "if you wanna come inside you gotta sit" or "do you wanna go for a WALK?" And with my new Keyboard Mama taught me to paw at the keys. It took a LONG time but Mama also taught her to bark by the door if I wants to come in. I love going to get Mama's keys too. She'll throw them ALL THE WAY across the room and I need to go and run to get them! I like it a lot. Tasty treats from carrying and dropping some small jingling thing in my mouth and dropping it in Mama's hand!

Okay, so one of my little white hooks to hold up the jump is MISSING! Mama thinks I could have burried it or someone has taken it, but who would want the hook? Anyway, Mama has me do the jump WITHOUT a jump! I just jump between the two bars and I can go as high or low as I want! I was doing grrreat with it and then we came to the tunnel... It was folded up almost completely and it was just like a chute tunnel; open on one side and closed on the other. I FLEW through it with no problem at all! I'm such a good girl!
Puggle loves!
Annie Agility Mutt!

Training Tip #3, November 9th, 2009: How to React
Did you know that dogs trace your feelings? They can sense it and it's often referred to they can smell it when you're angry or upset. How do you react when your dog goes crazy? It's natural to get nervous or scared if your dog is attacking another dog or being attacked by another dog, but you need to set that behind you. Act calmly, stay calm, be calm the entire time!
If your dog starts going crazy and you want them to settle down, what do you do? You be calm and firm. Say Annie is running around like a maniac, it's a firm, "Annie, come!" If she doesn't come I can't get angry at her. That traces to her and she'd never end up with me. I don't move my place. If I try to follow her or trap her she'll just keep running. (There is the occasional case where your dog will not come back no matter what. In those times, just follow when you need to. Your dog will tire and lay down or maybe even retreat to you if you're calm and patient. Don't risk this by a road, busy or not!)
Basically, doing anything except for praising your dog, always act calm and occasionally stern.
Puggle loves!
Annie

First three pups that rate and comment my video get a ROSETTE!
Only the first three, no exceptions... You'd better get over there fast! Just comment and tell me what you think and rate it from 1-5. I'd really like you to be extremely honest. If it's not five star it's not five star. Mama used a bad video camera, but I did perform the trick, so it's your decision. Only a 4 second video! Just waste two minutes of your time and win a rosette!
Also, p-mail me after you do. Let's go, pups!
ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO!
Puggle loves!
Annie
