Guess what we got in the mail today! A FRISBEE!! One of those soft ones with the more rigid edge but it’s soft in her mouth. Canvas center.
Of course, she has no idea what to do with it. I’m introducing it to her slowly.
She loves to jump — and she jumps really high. I’m […]
I heard today that our girl is terrible on the leash in the late afternoons. She pulls on the leash, stops to smell whatever it is dogs smell and is adamant about sticking with the smell until she’s ready to move on.
Ok, so some of it is the humans walking her. I haven’t trained them […]
I took Lacey on our morning walk at 6am. The routine these days is to walk for a while, do a little training, then finish the walk. Inside the house, we have breakfast. She then goes in her crate while I go to the gym.
She’s getting the training, even with just a few minutes a […]
Lacey and I were both home all day today. I had the house lead on her all day.
Boy, was she subdued. Had a really good morning walk. She even got to eat breakfast! Which means she sat when I instructed her to sit, etc.
She went over to nose the fountain rocks one time and I […]

Last night, I got her food out, went outside with her. She was looking directly at me. I said “Lacey, down”. She sat and looked at me. Would not give a down.
I didn’t stare at her…. I just kinda looked around to […]
This dog. This wonderful, incredible 20-pound bundle of pure puppy energy. Curious, naive, jumping, running, escaping, freedom-loving, always wanting to please and love.
So open-hearted, so consistent in who she is. I love this dog.
Anyway. I wanted to take her to the park and let her run around, free of the leash and a […]
Last night, Lacey didn’t get dinner. And that totally sucks for both of us. I feel like a horrible mother, and she becomes beggar extraordinaire.
Here’s how it happened. I grabbed the bag of chicken necks out of the fridge. With her on my heels, wagging her tail uncontrollably, salivating, smiling like crazy, we headed outside […]
Apparently, Lacey thinks she is. I was hoping I would have a nice submissive dog who didn’t ever think she needed to be leader — not even once.
I had a dog that was very small and very alpha, a little West Highland Terrier named Gretchen. Lord have mercy, she was feisty and pushy and demanding […]
