Health Concerns

[perzephone]

One of the benefits of dog ownership is supposedly exercise.

However, I think I'm too out of shape to entertain this puppy. I'm going to have to pay my overdue gym bill so I can work out enough to be able to keep up with her.

It's also really hard to break a puppy of the biting thing when they look so darned funny while they're chewing you up. I was sitting cross-legged on the floor wrestling (gently, mind you) with her & since I was protecting my soft, sensitive underarms and boobs, she started biting my exposed big toe.

She was actually playing on her own a little bit today - we're doing the 'YELP!' thing when she bites, and it does work to an extent. I think she's accepted that I'm the Alpha, so her & Rob are vying for Beta.

She's already a good watch-dog. 'Fetch' to her means watching me throw something across the room & watching me go & retrieve it.

The other thing u can do when she bites is to force your hand in her throat, not to hurt her of course but its uncomfy and they soon stop it.

lol one of my huskies is like that, watches the object sail thru the air and land then looks at me as if to say 'that was fun hooooman now go pick it up and do it again for me'

lol
