Play with your dog!

Don't be afraid to play with your dog! It's an important part of the relationship between handler and dog - and don't be afraid to throw away the toys for a bit. It might hurt a little bit, but both of you will learn to play in a way were you both can enjoy and benefit from the games.

What have we been doing today?
This far, not much, a little contacttraining, sit, lay, and com here. That's pretty much it, still working on that he'll choose me instead of the other dogs. This far I'm winning. Belive it or not - I'm even winning over my husband. And that's not an easy thing to do as dogs seems to be naturally attracted by him. It's like he's the sun and the dogs are the planets, they get caught up in him. It's quite amazing to see! ..and it's quite amazing that he feels that he's learning things from me.

Kaiser's doing great. Being a puppy and all, last night he decided that the doggybed from Walmart was a chewtoy. So he tore a nice big hole in it, just like pups do. I'm on my way out again, see what other kinda trouble we can get into a day like today.

Hugs!
