Tails From Le Woof

March and the arrival of spring as you can tell by the blooming “snow”

Enjoy!

This old footage is of an amazing trainer called Jay Sisler. You can see that the dogs are really happy to work for him. Another proof that you don’t need to punish a dog. Make the training session short and fun and the dog will be more than happy to work for you.

According to workingaussiesource.com, Jay Sisler trained for 10-15 minutes, three times a day. He worked on just one thing at a time, trying not to confuse the dog. If the dog wasn’t getting something, he would leave it for “a month or two” then come back to it.

Here are the top 10 calmest dogs.  I found this on Dogster

1. Newfoundland (Score = 7.30 out of 10)
2. Black Russian Terrier (Score = 7.29 out of 10)
3. Mi ki (Score = 7.21 out of 10)
4. Scottish Deerhound (Score = 7.20 out of 10)
5. Mastiff (Score = 7.18 out of 10)
6. Great Pyrenees (Score = 7.16 out of 10)
7. Dogue de Bordeaux (Score = 7.15 out of 10)
8. Caucasian Ovcharka (Score = 7.11 out of 10)
9. Bouvier des Flandres (Score = 7.07 out of 10)
10. Biewer Yorkie (Score = 7.05 out of 10)

Overall a really cold month but we survived and now the good day’s are ahead.

Need a smile? watch this.
