clicker training

Please pardon the agitated nature of the previous post. I hope that those of you who've been through clicker training (or may have started it and then...) can sympathize. Here's a brief progress report: We all seem used to the click click click associated with feeding and treating Charlie. Hopefully on Monday Trainer Tim will think we've sufficiently "charged the clicker" and by the middle of next week we'll be embroiled in another clicky challenge. Fingers crossed. Public Service Announcement: Look, Something Shiny! is about the shiny new thing on my mind. Right now it's Charlie.

Jed and I are experiencing emotional and sensory overload thanks to this dog.

THIS dog?

I mean, thanks to Charlie. Sorry, Charlie. (hehe, I couldn't resist)

First of all, we apprehensively ride the roller coaster of vet visits (i.e. the bills that accompany them) and pulling chewing gum off of footpads at 6am after the poopie scoopie bag burst while picking up dog bombs during the morning walk.

Both are expected. Neither are fun.

Speaking of fun?! Let's talk about obedience training.
