Doggy Bondage
First let me say that I have been slacking with my blog lately. I haven’t been posting as often as I’d like. I promise to remedy that soon.
In the meantime, please check out my doggy bondage pic. I have become the person I swore I never would become. My dogs are wearing shock collars. I have always been adamantly opposed to the things. I thought it was cruel to the poor little doggies. But now that I have puppies who are literally out of control (involved in a goat killing, barking at little kids, tearing apart my house), I’ve decided that they need to be trained better. And it was just not working without the collars. They had their first training session today. I think this is really going to help turn them into well behaved doggies. I still feel guilty about it, but I did first try the collar on myself, and it really doesn’t hurt at all.
But they look so funny in their little collars. Like they’re going to a doggy bondage show.

It is so understandable that you dont write more- you just got over meningitis!!!
In my experience, dogs appreciate a little structure. It makes them feel like their part of the team. The part I have the hardest time with isn’t the swift correction of using a shock collar or such, it’s the dishonest overly exuberant “Good doggie” praises when they perform correctly but are doing something that hardly seems praise worthy.
Good luck!
Take a look at some of the Dog Whisperer materials – some really good information! Dogs do look to their pack leader (you!) for guidance on what they should and shouldn’t do!
What the hell is wrong with you? Remove those damn things from them and learn to be alpha lead.
I am on my third week of puppy training at petsmart. I am still teaching jassy to sit but she is potty trained now. She did eat through my ipod cord…bad girl!
Good job on taking the initiative, albeit somwhat retroactive. Retroactive initiative?
Anyhoo, just remember to be consistent in your dealings with them – always reward good stuff, and correct with the collar when correction is required, and they’ll learn very quickly.
