Doggie Training!

ok, this weekend we had our session with the doggie trainer (same trainer we used for chibi). we had some specific questions on tips, tricks, techniques to ensure 2 happy doggies, as we assumed there were unique challenges to raising a puppy when there is another puppy in the house.

we gleaned some good information, new strategies/techniques to deal with the 2 doggie issues we had, and learned to tell if we even had doggie/puppy issues between the 2. mostly we learned that chibi has been doing pretty well with the puppy, and the puppy HAS been the annoying one.

the best part was learning some fun competitive training methods, and also how to keep each pup happy when sharing toys, etc.

funny moment of the session:

• while the trainer was there, the doggies were on their best behavior (making us look like idiots for calling about yelling, screaming, fighting, bickering between the dogs)
• last 15 minutes, they finally started annoying each other and started to "do their thing"
• when the question came up from her, "any other issues you guys see with the dogs?", mom mentioned "sometimes, chibi tries to hump sumo"....
• just as that phrase came out of her mouth, chibi decided to hump sumo (as if she understood what mom said!)
