Pre-Training Day 1

Pre Training Day 1: Nov. 12.

This is it!

• My car anti-dog shedding cloth (huge katya I specifically bought for road trips with dogs) = CHECK
• Bruce's outdoor bag (Toy, Poop bags, water dish, water, towel and treats = CHECK
• Bottle of water for me and Bruce = CHECK
• Notebook and pen = CHECK
• Camera = CHECK
• Driver (Karla) = CHECK

Unfortunately, we won't be able to bring Harvey. I know it's kind of sad and unfair, but the trainer assured me that Harvey doesn't need extensive work. He is a generally smart and sociable dog who picks up things easily. Bruce needs more work because of his fearfulness. If I bring Harvey along, Bruce's self esteem would gravitate on Harvey and he might get a bit distracted. This training module will not only teach him behavioral skills and tricks, but this is also a way for him to build his self confidence and do things on his own without Harvey's help.

We love you Harvey and Chivas, but Bruce has to be trained because he will eventually be our protector and all protectors have a keen sense of self confidence. He has to do this alone. 

We will have your friend back in 2 hours. 

Bruce's first day at school

He will be back by Lunch time, Harvey. No need to worry.
