Treats I've been getting recently: pizza crusts, 'apple bacon Fruitables' and of course, mini marshmallows. But Girl saves those especially for Tuesday training nights at our fairgrounds.
I like going on Tuesdays and I try really hard to be the best, most obedient dog there - but sometimes other dogs are distracting, or people. People are probably one of the hardest distractions to have!! I was practicing my Down Stay the a few weeks ago and one of the leaders talked to me in the annoying, but fun way people do when they think something's cute, *ahem* like me.
That's the most distracting - and sometimes when we visit the Tractor Supply Store (TSC) Girl asks humans (who else? I mean the only other option for getting pet from is little duckies or chicks when they're there - but I think that would tickle a lot.) to speak in a lower voice, because that helps me to feel calmer.
Speaking of being calmer, what helps YOU be calmer and able to focus on your work or training times? (I'm talking to dogs here - I know what humans like: music, ice cream, and being under the covers - at least that's what Girl likes.) If you don't type well, you can have your human type for you, Girl's typing for me now.
Oh, you know what else is calming for me? Taking naps! In fact, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll stretch out for a quick one right now! Good nap!
PS What do you think of my new signature? :)
