Since we started our obedience class,Cooper needs a treat to enjoy when he passes a lesson. I got this pack of treat for him.

Whalewale:


Please where can i get this treat to buy... I use peanuts as treats instead though

Evina:
Wow, I am at a loss for words. I can't wait to read about Cooper putting Vera in the family way and then the little coopers n veras.

Awww. And they lived happily ever after. *dreamyeyes. LOL.

Seun:
All oils are liquid, but they usually put it in a transparent capsule. You can puncture the capsule and mix the oil inside it with the dog's food.

deeptesting:


lol! i really wish they can live without Cooper putting Vera in the family way.

Evina:


What!
Please you're kidding I hope.
You know what? Why don't you consider creating a book out of this. This diary makes a most interesting read. You can start with an ebook, then print.

You would make a successful sale and have achieved the awareness for pure breeds.

deeptesting:


I have never thought of that but sounds good. I am serious when i said "I wish Cooper will live happily with Vera without putting her the family way". Like humans you know the responsibility that comes with pregnancy & child birth..

One thing i am enjoying at the moment is the uniqueness of Cooper & Vera. Cooper is so manly and intimidating while Vera is so feminine that you just can't help but cuddle her from Coopers bully attitude.

My daughter after watching their interaction on a particular day " Told me Cooper is a goat". lol.

Evina:


LOL at Goat.
Yes, loads of responsibilities with pregnancy, but it usually is worth it right?

As per you wish, if you don't castrate Cooper, (don't you dare!) it will only remain a wish. LOL.

deeptesting:


I want to avoid castrating Cooper because he could be a stud. The pics shows what he does to Vera, sometimes she will have bite him hard to let go.

Cooper needs to learn how to treat a woman right.

Evina:


But he is still just a dog. I mean, isn't that asking for too much? Is it possible for him to be the perfect gentleman gentledog you expect him to be? LOL.

stonecoldcafe:


God bless you. I would buy such a book.
By the way, what am I reading about castration? I thought you got Vera for company and cos you want them to eventually mate? I need to go back and read again.

deeptesting:


lol.... May be i have been watching too many animal cartoon.

Deeptesting, I've heard a lot about this dog treat, but my question is: do dogs even understand the treat is given to them for their obedience? How do u make a dog know it has to earn that? Good job, bro!

Whalewale:

My Daughter requested i get Cooper a companion, she felt Cooper is always lonely when she goes to school and my wife and I have gone to work..So we got Vera to keep him company, mating was out of the game.

deeptesting:


They understand,the idea is positive reinforcement to a particular behavior. Example, i am teaching him the "sit" command.

The moment i bring the treat, i will get it closer to his nose and he will be yearning for it, then i will gently hold his back side to make him sit and say "sit".. The moment he sits i will give him the treat, timing is very important.

I also do this with when i want to feed him or give him water, so gradually he understands that he has to sit to get something from me either food or treat.

Don't forget when i try to gently bring his back side down i associate the word "sit" with it.

We are still on it and this will take approximately 2weeks for me because i don't try to rush or force him and i keep the lesson short. I will soon face out the treat and just saying "sit" he will act accordingly.

One thing i have learnt is you can condition a dog to do anything that you want him/her to do..Dogs love their owners and wants to do anything to please them.

XBLadez:

I think ur getting the credit coz u started early enough. My neighbour's rott is about 7 - 8 months, and very silly. Once it sees u with food it goes haywire, barking and jumping on ur body, at times threatening to bite. Last Sunday, I saw it nudge and snatch a slice of bread from my neighbour's son. Guess it's too late for him now to understand

deeptesting:


At 7-8Months it is not too late but Dog Instructors will tell you that obedience training begins at 5weeks or 8 weeks.
The Rot can still be thought good manners or behaviors but it will take time and patience from the owners.

XBLadez:

The truth is that the owners are not dog breeders. The best food I've seen them give the dog is Jojo and indomie mixed with geisha. I've never seen a vet visit the dog or the owners take it out for a walk...they should visit this thread and learn. It hurts me to see that cute dog being trained like a goat but there's nothing I can do.

deeptesting:
The Vet showed up this morning to give Cooper the last shot of his vaccination. His next vaccination will be Anti-rabbies.

...had to laugh at the bolded. We have a lot of unbalanced dogs. I am a culprit of not doing the dog walk (for at least 30mins daily according to Ceasar Millan), my schedule and my laziness could be responsible. I only take solace that he is not cage bound and the compound is relatively big, the lizard and bird chasing, we even had a fight with a comodo looking creature one day . Maybe you could talk to them, did that for my neighbour who breed dogs. She is a banker, a business enthusiast, buys these dogs expensive and treats them poorly, the busy banking schedule did more damage. She changed for a while, but returned to status duo. She had to quit breeding(she runs a small canteen in her office, has a fish pond, she was doing a lot, was taking its toll on her health). Maybe their schedule turned the dog to a nightmare

...the part my dog hates. The deworming and anti-rabies visits to the vet is a nightmare. Refuses a muzzle, I need to 'tactically manoeuvre' an heavy chain around his neck to a pillar, and give a choke-hold for the vet to do her(a she) job. For a 2yr old very strong dog, I get injured most times. And the world becomes normal to him again. I was not fully involved when he was younger(like correcting a dog from 0-13months), so I might just live with this bad behaviour. Any help to correct this would be appreciated. Nice Job Man
