Sushi, the pug and Bonkers, the Shih Tzu do the happy dance…
After learning that dogs everywhere have risen up and proclaimed “cats do not taste like chicken”, Sushi and Bonkers were seen rejoicing at a local disco. It has been a long hard month of campaigning but according to Sushi, “It has all been worth it”. “Cats everywhere can now rest easy”.
“We are not done yet”, proclaimed Bonkers. “We still need to insure that humans provide a tasty all natural dog treat, like bully sticks to replace the cat fur normally in a dog’s diet”.
Happy Doggy St. Patrick’s Day
We here at Bully Sticks wish you the luck of the IRISH all year long. May you and your dogs be full of good fortune and may your pots always be full.
You’re Wrong - Cat’s do not taste like Chicken
Contrary to popular belief … Cat’s do not taste like Chicken
At least that’s according to Sushi the pug and Bonkers the Shih Tzu. These pooches are on a mission to create harmony between cats and dogs. If more dogs would just eat bully sticks, there would be less problems with cat attacks.
If learning to “Come” when called is the first thing you need to teach your dog, then it would logically follow that learning to “Stay” would be the second.
I like to break this command into two sections, the Stay as in the stay where you are, and the AAATTT, as in freeze buster… don’t move a muscle. Both are equally important.
The Stay command takes patience and repetition to perfect and you need to take your dog’s attention span into consideration.
- Place your dog on the floor directly in front of you….make sure you have his attention.
- Hold your hand up in the stop position and say sternly…”staaaay”.
- Take a step backwards… If your pet moves, place him in the same spot and repeat the command
- Once you can take several steps backwards without your pet moving, use the “come” command and give him a treat.
- Increase the distance daily until you can leave the room without your puppy moving off the spot.
The AAATTT command is similar to the growl that momma dog gives her pups to keep them in line. It should sound like a growl and will get your pups immediate attention. Use it to set boundaries and to keep you dog from harm. A dog trained to respond to this command can be saved from running into oncoming traffic or eating something dangerous. Once you have your dogs attention then you can use the “Come” or “Stay” commands.
Using a combination of praise, attention, all natural dog treats and voice tone is an excellent way to communicate your requests to your pet.
