Adoption Update: Alex



I have a small brag about Alex. At his third USDAA trial ever, he went 5 for 5 with qualifying rounds and placements to earn three PI agility titles. He is going to become a challenge to run as he figures out this game, and gets a little more speed, but he definitely had a great time this weekend.

Adoption Update: Alex



Alex is doing great, although he annoys Brit & West occasionally with his super high energy. He wants to play 24 -7 and we are still working on the "settle" command. He is a lot of fun to train. We are working with the clicker and he shapes beautifully. He is happy to play ball, frisbee and tug so we can always find time for some play time.

Foster Update: The Miller Pack

Dear West,

We read about your new dog on dogdaysatmabcr.com. My mom says it is veryimportant to learn to share. Maybe you can make that dog play a fun gamewith you if you teach it to.

You should also play with another, crummy toy,to make that new dog think it is really special. That way, he may want theother toy more than he wants your ball. It has worked for me, so I am passing this along to you.

My mom tells me that teaching a dog not to be bad is hard. She says I am still learning this, but I think I am already perfect. When we all go into the back yard so that Bonnie can play ball with mom, I want to bark at thetop of my lungs the whole time. Mom says I should not behave like a Mad Man,and that my lungs are entirely too big for a small dog. I try and try, but running with Bonnie (who is very sexy and cool) without barking is veryhard. Still, it is better than being left inside when the big dogs go out.
Good luck with your new dog. I could come help you bark at him if you like.

Aunt Sarah,

Mom says that you sent her that new dog that came today, and she says that he is going to be living with us. She said he was a good dog and did not bark at all in the car on the way home from seeing you. He met the cat tonight, and he is mostly very curious, but not being naughty to the cat.

I am not very happy with this new dog. He keeps touching my soccer ball, and I don't want anyone to touch my soccer ball but Brit. She loves me so she can play with my soccer ball. But this new dog keeps trying to take all my balls away. BAD new dog!!! He also barks at me when he is in the crate. I don't like that at all. That is a bad dog!!! We will try to teach him to be a good dog. If he is not, then we will not play with him at all.

Signed

West Miller
