Hav’n Fun @ HGT!
Written by Pam on April 2, 2016
It is a rainy day here in CT so we took to the inside with the dogs and had some fun. We wanted all our HGT families to know how smart our dogs are and how they amaze us constantly – see for yourself by clicking on each IMG below – you might have to give it a minute to load
The first video is of our Meooya learning the commands, sit and down. I use both of these commands simultaneously even though the words should bring on a different movement. The sit/down command I reinforce over and over until they are at least one year is only for their safety … yes, the dogs safety! I walk my dogs without too much emphasis on the leash so I need to make sure they know a command and know it well if I want them to stop short in their tracks and do something spontaneously. If you have been reading our blogs, you will see me training all our puppies and our dogs to immediately go to a ‘down’ position when I ask for it especially if I am far away from them. This is just in case I see danger approaching and I need for them to heed my message immediately. IMG_1526
The second video that we wanted everyone to see is most of our pack wanted to steal the show with the ‘say-hi’ or ‘paw’ command. Sometimes this command turns into a true crack-me-up situation when the paws are up, on, down and up again. IMG_1530 (4)
The last video is how clever, how resourceful, how smart – how …whatever you want to call it. If there is love, trust and mutual respect, a dog will learn from the human – in this video it is clear that Ozzy has seen me latch and unlatch the two latches on this kennel. Well, his favorite friend here at HGT is Koko and I am sure he enjoys her company outside of the kennel – you will be amazed. I often wonder how Koko managed to get out of her kennel at night time and now I know who master-minded this entire escape! IMG_8015 (2)
Enjoy the videos! Pam
