We recently lost our two dogs, they were 15 and 16 years old. The pilot has been researching like a mad man on how to train a puppy correctly (he wants another dog). Turns out we did everything wrong. Lets take a look at just a couple things the pilot sent me on the "do's" of how to train a dog.
1. No table scraps should be fed to the dogs during a meal - I don't understand they really like steak
2. If a dog is lying in your path, do not walk around the dog, either make the dog move or step over the dog - the easier thing to do is walk around, just saying
3. Ideally, dogs should not sleep in your bed - when they were puppies they were very cute and that is how they both ended up in our bed
4. Feedings must be at a scheduled time, no self-feeding. - Leaving the bowl down with food is more convenient, for me of course
We had to tell D-boy that the dogs got sick and were not coming home. This was no easy task, I started out by saying they were very sick and they went to Heaven to feel all better. His response was "So, Jesus will make them all better, then they become puppies and come back to earth". At the time I thought that was cute and I was trying to avoid any tears, so I agreed. It sounded good to me and I thought we would all sleep better that night. Well, it didn't work like I thought it would. 2 days later D-boy woke up and asked me where the dogs were? I was confused since I thought I had clearly explained they were in Heaven. I forgot about the part where they were supposed to become puppies and come back to earth.....
