training tula

hi every bloggie!

First off, I'm furry excited about the 2nd Annual Worldwide Moment taking place today. I thought the Thundering Herd had a beautiful post about the meaning of it. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

Okay. You all know I've been in grad skool working on my masters with Tula and Mango. Well after skool, I've been doing some training on my own with Tula my monstah cousin. Who'd think a crackah dawg like me would be teaching appropriate social play lessons! But come see my training techniques...

First you find a beautiful place with trails, tree lined and water access. Hmmm pawfect.

This is Lake Boon in Stow MA.

I like to begin our lessons with some basics. Zooming right at Tula. (with a crazy cracker expression) Neener neener neener.

Then I zip zap pow zoom right by her. Good girl Tula. No grrs or biteys along the way.

Next part of the lesson, since I'm part cattle dog, I zoom large circles around her. Well Tula is large like that horse Frankie Furter rode the other day. Guess my herding tactics are well intended here.

And POW zoom in close and right past Tula.

Rut Roh.. that's not part of the lesson. She's starting to chase. Whew.. I hope she keeps your training cap on.

Oh course.. appropriate play includes taunting. Nah nah nah.. nordude was here!!!

And back again. Stay Tula while I zoomie at you!

Whoa..... a FREE Tula with no safety face. RUT ROH. We are not at that advanced level yet!

What to do? What to do? Think think! Ahh play dead.

Phew... And that's my appropriate social play training with Tula.

Who's next?

See you all at 11pm GMT or 6pm Eastern Standard Time! Feel the PAWER!

hi every bloggie
Yeppers.. I'm a bit behind. I'm still catching up posting old fotos and videos. On valentine's day I was finally released from sleep over camp confinement. Proceed with caution... I was confined to 6 days without regular walkies. Here goes....

PS... After posting this video to YouTube, I learned I will never put "balls" in the title. The most interesting related videos come up but definitely not recommended by moi! winky wink. Most certainly not.
