SO Steve got an email at work the other week about this adorable girl. We had been talking about getting another dog, a friend for Techno and she was FREE to a good home and we won the bid! As in, her foster family picked us out of 8 people who were interested. I instantly loved her mentality–as Steve would say, she’s “calm as a hindu cow.” Definately my mentality.
Needless to say, I claimed her as my doggie that very night we came home. And thank goodness we have a friend for Techno now. Speaking of, he is still crazy as ever. We bought this device called a Spray Commander for him. Since we have been through training books and classes, a shock collar, and a choke collar–none which really worked–except for the training did help some. When Techno is worked up though there is just no getting through to this dog. Anyway, the Spray Commander is a collar they wear and it has a remote. When u press a button on it, it squirts a bit of citronella scented water in the air. Its supposed to distract and deter the dog from whatever negative behavior they may be engaging in. Well it worked for all of two days, and Techno is becomming pretty immune to it. Also, each fill of the collar only has 25 sprays, and we are easily filling it once a day. Needless to say, we have 30 days to return it for any reason (thank you PetsMart!) and I just might be doing so, seeing it put us out $100!
Anyway, here is the last pic of our poodle-doodles, who will always behave as long as there is TREATS involved!
