What a cool little dog...Oh, I can see why he ending up in doggie jail. I'm not saying there is no room for improvement, here. For example, he loves his toys and he won't share with any other dogs. I'm sure an assault charge, or two, or fifteen is in his rap sheet. That'll require a little management on his "forever" handlers part. The rest of the package will make it all worth while. When we picked him up, the scuttlebutt was that the Mustang Makeover trainers that were most successful, focused on horsemanship, not showmanship. I've really gone back to basics. Because he is such an athletic little guy, I was playing around with a scatter shot bit of behaviors involving various props. I realized, for the time we were given, I was doing too much. I have come to the realization, that quality is better than quantity. I may get the props back out, but not for a while. And, like I said in my first blog, my focus needs to be getting him a home. The rest will take care of itself.
Now, on another front. The hurricane season has started to raise it's ugly head. There are two storms headed this way from Africa. The larger of the two is expected to hit hurricane strength by tomorrow. Depending on landfall predictions, I could go out the door by the end of next week. That'll leave a mark on my training plan. I wonder if Samson can fit in my duffel bag? ...Just Kidding...
