Storm Damage

Show Off Your Dog
  • We had a tree come down and hit our fence in the latest round of storms that came through. Nexa and Leo helped with some of the cleanup:D

    Investigating the roots:

    Leo must have found something:

    Looking through an opening where a board came off the fence:

    I just had to post this picture:

  • I love that last one :D :D :D

    Do you have any problems with the dogs scraping themselves on the wood slats? I had to put a couple of wood panels up in the corner … the neighbors's little pretend dog would come to the corner and irritate EL D (and me) to no end -- the wood panels cut their view but I worry about EL D trying to jump up against them.

  • Those are too funny! I love the second one, where you can only see his rear end coming out of the hole he has dug…

  • Great pictures! I especially like the last one. When they discovered that they had something new to explore, it must have been like Christmas to them!

    BTW, Cory discovered a loose board on our fence and removed it. :eek: The neighbor found her checking out her deck and called us. (Thank goodness!) Our fence is shadow box style. Sometimes the dogs get minor scrapes on their legs but it is because they try to reach between the boards to touch/pet our neighbor's cat…....it fascinates them.

    I hope that was all the damage that you had!

  • They seem like quite the pair! :)

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    @elbrant Yes, she's good an patient sometimes, I've been taking pics of her from day 1 so she's used to it, I'm allowed a couple of mins and no more though.
