We have all been working really, Really, REALLY hard at training this Lakeland Terrier!
Every time she sits and Every time she lays down and Every time she pees outside she gets praise or a reward! Trouble is, she gets bored with praise and food rewards...what!?!
So, we have switched to "critter on a stick"!!
Now, when Tegan does the correct behavior, she gets to wrestle with a fuzzy fox attached to the end of a riding crop!
Look how sleepy she gets after school.
And while sister sleeps....I can supervise the Christmas cookie production!

She's so adorable. Eat a cookie or two for me.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
well....we can't believe she turns her nose up at treats, but being a terrier we can understand her wanting to chase and chew a stuffie.
ReplyDeleteWe think we can smell those cookies.
Awwww, Tegan is sooo adorable! All that learning is very, very tiring!

You get tired of treat rewards, Tegan?! You are a most unusual girlie! We can almost smell those gingerbread cookies all the way to our house, Wyatt!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥

that's terrierbulous you are a super student Tegan :o) and a nap after such exhausting lessons is well deserved...
ReplyDeletethere is a lot to learn for such a young pup - but she will get there and be a well trained young lady in no time
ReplyDeleteStumpy's favorite boy got a new puppy and the training a full time job. For Christmas he's getting a flirt pole. Same concept as the critter on a stick.
ReplyDeleteTeagan, you're doing a great job of continuous education with the 2 leggers. I hope Wyatt is sharing all his secrets.
Sniff Sniffffffff COOKIES WE SMELL COOKIES...
ReplyDeleteOMD Critter on a Stick??? THAT is GRRRREAT...
Well, they do say a tired puppy is a good puppy! We bet that critter is very entertaining.

Jessie gets a super special treat that's ONLY for school, but she also really likes lots of praise and pettins.

ReplyDeleteBored with treats!!! Really. She is adorable. Glad your Mom found something else that works.
ReplyDeleteOh My Tegan! I will just about turn myself inside out for treats. But mom likes to mix it up with toys too. And always lots of praise of course!
