Last week my dog Buster graduated from Canine- Alan-on Intensive Therapy.
I had to, with three dogs I couldn’t have him trying to control me by his neurosis, and more importantly constant pissing.
His graduation was almost a week ago. He’s calm. He is capable of sleeping in a crate without pissing in it. He is heel trained, meaning that eventually with me he will require no leash and will shadow my foot. With three dogs of various sizes, this will come in handy.
Nearly a week into the work, I get a call from the trainer. “Hey Brian, how’s it going I’ve got some good news and some bad news for you.”
Immediately I knew what that was going to be.
“The good news is that Buster doesn’t have separation anxiety, and the bad news is that you’re the one fucking him up.”
Ok, he didn’t quit say it like that, but it was basically just that, “He’s ok, you’re fucked up.
But really, if anyone has read me for a while this wouldn’t come a big news.
Now that he is back, he is pissed, capital “P” pissed that he is no longer the leader of this pack. He shakes, turns his back to me, and yelps during a correction as if I just stabbed a knife in his back.
He’s probably think, “Girl, I’ve seen you dress up the little Chihuahua in pink shit, and you think you’re going to dominate me?” And then when it happens, he is shocked.
Alright guys, let’s just put it out there. I’m not just a big bottom. I wasn’t given a decnt dick to just let it flap in the air while someone did all the work. I make sure that I get my top quotia despite the fact that I have a 2.5 pound Chihuahua.
This process, so far, has cost me close to 3,000 dollars. Believe it or not I consider myself lucky as his rates went up from 2,500 for 28-day intensive therapy to 4,000. This does include 8 weeks of working as much as I want one-on-one to continue his work and make the hand over complete into my household.
So really it covers three months of training.
Also, Buster is off his anti-depressants for separation anxiety. We are going off our pysch meds both at the same time.
To keep things glamorous, this trainer often flies to LA, or have dogs flown from LA to Toronto to train.
I’ll have to send Hildy down there with him for a little LA trip. I swear she’s going down there one day.
