  • Walk this way......

    Sunday, Nov 8, 2009 6:01PM / Members only

    Photos from a couple days back - teaching this girl not to pull on walks.
    Took about 2 hours, dog learns to follow the tension of the leash and sit when the owner stops, and of course, not pull.... 
    Shuda saw the owner's reaction when we stepped out of the residential complex... he was super surprised/delighted/ecstatic.... having his dog literally walk on one finger!
    Makes me really wanna get another dog... oh well. We'll see..
    Quick tip for all dog owners out there: cuz this is what happened to this dog... she had a tendency to pull left... some dog drag back or pull ahead etc, but she was a side puller. SOOOOO, she goes left, we go right. she follows. we praise. dog learns, being near u is wayyy more comfortable than not. Sounds easy enough right? Huh. Took the dog 10-15mins to understand.... Principle is simple, training ain't easy. Split second too early or too late, and the dog doesn't understand - best thing to do? Try, experiment, stay calm, stay patient. 








  • Spicy Buns. Choc Fix.

    Sunday, Nov 1, 2009 8:44PM / Members only

    Got back from training a little mini 2 month dog. Reminds me of my own dog, Friday.
    This is the second week, teaching basic obedience and not to bite on everyone's hands/jumping up.  The previous week, was to really get the dog socialised cuz he was going a bit mad at the door. So every time someone visits the house, we chuck food all over the floor...
    One week went by and the dog COMPLETELY changed. I love puppies. So easy to mould their minds. And, also managed to take away his possessiveness with toys
    Ah, how i love puppies. Makes me really miss training dogs now. 
    Then I bought myself a spicy 1RMB bun and almost died from spicyfication. Now I have a chocolate craving.
    Peace out. I'm out to the shops..... grrrrrrr

  • The power of the public.

    Monday, Oct 26, 2009 10:37PM / Members only

    A while back, I asked what people thought of a dog hotel in Shanghai. And now, it's happening!

    Thanks again to the people who took the time to leave a comment and suggest ideas and what they'd like to see in a hotel for dogs, because I took your advice and I went on a little trip to the US to see the hotels for real!

    I was a little disappointed at some I saw, but the one or two that stood out to me REALLY stood out. I was shocked at how 'good' they were. It was almost beyond my imagination. And, a worthwhile experience, I hope to bring that imagination to Shanghai.

    Thanks again and again to the ones who read and contribute and of course, AnD.
  • Nice to Be BACK in Shanghai

    Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 8:25AM / Members only

    So another Chapter ends, and another begins.

    Driving to the airport from San Fran, was kinda nice.... watching the sunrise at 6am across the Golden Gate Bridge. Kinda makes you appreciate the wonders of the world.

    however, v. glad to be back in Shanghai; feels more like home, and it will be for a good time coming. 

    so, pics from the last day, learnt a lot from the 2 weeks from our teacher: Michael Ellis. A hugely talented trainer, handler and teacher. And, most of all the integrity of his approach and his natural ability in communication and dedication to his art.

    If you are ever in California, and want some serious dog training. Go see him.

    (Also briefly met OJ Knighten - a K9 Coach, movie dog trainer in LA - i think he was on an episode of Cesar Milan's Dog Whisperer?)






  • Dog Attack + Bite = Me

    Thursday, Oct 15, 2009 9:47AM / Members only

    Woo! Got to fit in the bite suit today! 
    A completely different feeling to having hard protected sleeves or leg sleeves.... I guess it's the fact that the dog is SO close to your face and gripping onto your arm... plus, the dog would bite so hard that it would 'pinch' the suit, taking some of my arm/flesh... so... a little bruised/scratched/pinched..... I was wearing pads underneath too...

    Thx to Lindsey for taking the photos!

    It made me a little 'hectic?' - anyway, was fun, and a great experience. 

    Few more days to go! 





    Victory! (kind of)....

    Yeah, the beagles are HIGHLY food motivated. Unfortunately, the only thing they're MORE motivated to do is hunt. If they're on a rabbit trail, no cookie in the world will turn them.

    Blingee is the name of the site where I add all the "stuff"--animation, little graphics, etc.-- to my profile pic for the season. The red head... uh... cuz I'm a red head ::shrug:: I'm not much for using "actual self" photos (I really don't think I photograph well...) so I'm represented by some cheesecake-y red headed pin-up girl on every community where I have a profile =D

    Girl-child was the climber. Put a lock on your medicine cabinet. She got hold of cough suppressant. Trip to the ER with a strung out 20 month old are a bad thing....
