So this happened this week. I decided Arty's face isn't so bad if there are lots of cookies being delivered!
From Mama: After a week of playing "find the treats" through the fence that separates the two of them, and a very successful session with them playing "find the treats"
together with the fence open, we decided to level up and move them into the same room. See the video below for the "Find the Treats" game. We are lucky our pups are taught from an early age to share food and neither Arty nor Sunny are food guarders.
After a couple of pictures, we called it a PAWESOME success and
ended the session on a pawsitive note! We'll try this a few more times
and then start adding our furry distractions(Rosy and Jakey)
You can also watch the video HERE on YouTube
Note: Arty and Sunny will most likely wear leashes and harnesses, when in the same room, for the foreseeable future.
This week we are so thankful that we are training Sunny to not be so impulsive in her barking and to slow down and smell the cookies!
We would be extra thankful for some more cookies Mama!

ReplyDeletethe investment of your time in Sunny (and Arty) will, I am sure, pay off. It can be very waring when two family members don't get on! YAM xx
We are good if there is nothing to cause high excitement levels. If Mom hears the delivery truck coming and it might stop here, one of us needs to go away for a few minutes. No stress situations and things are good but it is constant work for Mom. It is nice to all be able to be together in her office all day while she is working.
ReplyDeleteAll of your training is paying off beautifully! We didn't realize that you were so much bigger than Arty is, Sunny.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me 87 kinds of happy!! Sunny and Arty you do KNOW how lucky you are to have such adoring and patient peeps!
ReplyDeleteSunny I remain amazed at your long legs!! Wonder if any of your littermates had such long legs!
You could really be a runway model.

You two are doing so well in your training. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWell done congrats to all of you! Keep up the great progress.
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful to see, we're proud of you Sunny, Arty is a good guy so be nice and sweet! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you're all getting along. We didn't have too much fighting when we had as many as three doggies in the house. The "Top Dog" title was passed from one to another without much problem.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the two of them together on the video, we are wondering if Arty isn't just jealous of Sunny's long legs!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress. Those must be some very tasty treats - Sunny was on the hunt for them for sure:)

Loved the video. Treats are the best and you always want more.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof Thankful Thursday. My best to your peeps. ♥
Liked the video
ReplyDeleteYou both are doing so very well. Good doggies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, and it sure does seem to be working. I'm gonna ask Mom to try that with Xena and Chia, and maybe get them to be good to each other before this rivalry for top dog gets any worse. And I bet she'll throw me some cookies while she's doing it! XOX Lucy
ReplyDeleteYay, it looks like you are making some wonderful progress!! ♥
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Yay! Progress! Mama did a lot of training with us here when I was new to make sure I didn't try to chase the cats and to make sure that the cats, specifically Chaplin, didn't try to chase me."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "I wouldn't have chased you. I would have just boxed you into the corner and kept you there under the threat of my murder mittens."
Lulu: "Uh-huh, yeah, that doesn't sound much better."
