Training Thankfuls

 

 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!

Thankful for Patience - Training in Progress

  

This week our pack is thankful for the challenge of getting along.

 

 

 Mama...why is HE out here???

Well Sunny, we want to show you Arty isn't as scary as you think he is!

 

 

 I don't think he's scary Mama, I just don't like his face!

Well Rosy, we think it's time you and Arty spend more time getting to know each other.

 

 

 Will there be cookies involved??

If you are nice and quiet and look at me when I ask, you can have lots of cookies!!

 

 

 Mama, what is SHE doing out here??

Well Arty, you and Sunny need to start getting along better if we are going to be able to take family vacations. We are going to start with you both hanging out together outside...and then we'll move inside and see what happens.

 

 

 I'll do my best to be patient Mama, as long as you keep those cookies coming!!

 

 

Cookies?? I might take on the challenge of being nice for cookies!!

 

From Mama: Many of you already know Sunny and Arty do not get along.  For the most part they still  live in different spaces, alternating times to spend with "the pack". We have decided it's time to get Sunny and Arty to a point where they can tolerate each other in a closer space.  We know if we don't introduce them to the idea of living in a smaller space together soon, we may never have peace or get to travel as a full pack in CeCe. Our goal to slowly get them to share a space without constant barking or fear of violence.

 

We know there is a chance one or the other may always need to be crated and we know they will never be able to be left alone in the same space, but we are determined and thankful for the challenge to be able to live in a more peaceful pack situation.
