Musings about dog addiction. November 10, 2014. Mika didn’t come inside when I called her. It was late, and I had just arrived home – normally she’s there to greet me (sometimes by dancing on the table). 8220;Hm. Good job, kid.” I casually picked up the cute little head and tossed it in a plastic sack to go out in the garbage. She’s also a bloodthirsty, mud-rolling, bitch-fighting, rabbit murdering savage. I have seen her after epic battles with the large male squirrels, muzzle slashed and blee...In that...

Musings about dog addiction. December 11, 2014. What Role, the Dog? The girls gang up on Dax playing in the yard. He does appeasement behaviors to deal with it, but I’ve had to step in and stop them from heckling him too badly. I’d like to write a different list about how to be a leader to your dog. It’s a lot shorter than most of the other lists I’ve seen. 1) Be Willing To Take A Bullet. In their own neighborhood. So what did I do? Threw the bike at the dog. 8221; and the dog, predictably, ran off from.

Musings about dog addiction. September 23, 2013. Mika wouldn’t hold things in her mouth for more than a few seconds before I taught her force fetch. There are two reasons why this blog is called Diary of a Dog Pusher. Encourage people to work with and live with dogs. And with dogs, training is all about pushing. Push firmly, push gently, push inexorably, but push. If you have a dog that is fearful, it’s even. Because you’ve never taken it out of its comfort zone. A lot of people seem to almost grow worsh...

Musings about dog addiction. Snarky, unproductive comments (You’re a misogynist! Will simply be deleted because I’m far too lazy to argue with ideologues and I don’t like giving them a platform to argue from on my work. It’s unproductive and only reinforces their ideology, as outlined on this lovely post by a different blogger: http:/ blogs.agu.org/wildwildscience/2013/08/13/why-arguing-with-a-wing-nut-is-actually-more-than-just-a-waste-of-time/.

Musings about dog addiction. September 19, 2014. A Thought about Death, Dogs, and Working Snobs. I had occasion recently to consider what should be the fate of dogs if their trainer dies. Dogs are a craft, almost a religion, to trainers. We put thousands hours of hard work, and so many countless heartaches and long nights contemplating ethics, strategies, and learning with our dogs and ourselves. I put it the other day that Mika is my “fifth limb” – and it’s true. Do you let the dog stay with your family?

Musings about dog addiction. February 9, 2015. Apparently, the rescue world has become so weird that even if you find a stray dog, do your due diligence to locate the owner with flyers, contacts, internet postings, etc. and cannot;. The dog under your care without compensation, and interview and vet multiple adopters in an effort to find this stray dog a home, it’s still sickening because dog rehoming can only be done by “reputable rescue shelters”. Despite continuing narrative of pet overpopulation.

Musings about dog addiction. September 9, 2013. Two dogs enjoying some offleash time – oh wait, they’re both wearing ecollars! They can’t be enjoying themselves, can they? I am a balanced trainer. I’ve got a lot of tools in my bag-o-tricks, including my voice, my hands, my feet, my hips, my eyes, my body posture, niblets of treats, the. Every moment in a dog’s life is “training” because all training is learning. A good example of why I am a balanced trainer is because of an incident when Dax was a puppy.
