I'm a WUSS!

Marci on Behavior - Fri, August 22 2008

I feel like such a wuss this evening. I'm sore from all of the chew tug stuff (I'm NOT in very good shape right now), I'm tired from cutting up 4 packages of Zukes and Wellness treats tonight (over an hour), and feel like I've picked up another bug.

Since Charlie has such a huge prey drive, I'm using tug as a reward (on advice from our instructor) for some of his training. We're also practicing "give it" and our rescue word with the tug toy, hence the sore muscles. I figure if he'll give me the tug toy, he'll give me most anything. Anyway, John is making dinner, I'm sitting on my hiney in front of the TV, and I'm officially calling off our scheduled training tonight. We'll do a few things, but not nearly what I had planned. I wouldn't be surprised a bit if Charlie complains about not getting all of his treats again. He would have had the opportunity to earn almost 200 teeny tiny treats (approximately 17 Zukes)!

Sometimes you just have to take a break! I want to get Bev back into agility and Minnie into some kind of behavior class, but I'm afraid with my college classes that I just won't be able to keep up with it all.

Hey, take it easy and get back on your feet! Stacy's right - give yourself a break! :) xoxo Diane

It sounds like you are really working on the prey drive! Keep up the good work (within reason) and hopefully you'll see results.

Try to get some rest and like Stacy said, take a little break. I'm going to take Penny to the classes that Connie took Lexie too. They don't start until September, but it'll be here before I know it. Then hopefully things will calm down around here. I'm calling my house "Chez Chaos".
