    Dog Training Article on Squidoo

    Hi all - I just posted a training article on my Dogs Rule Lens at Squidoo. Please check it out here.

    Tillie and the Turtle

    Tille thinks she has a turtle cornered. She doesn’t because the turtle is outside the fence, on the driveway. But, what she thinks is what is important! If the turtle had any sense, he would put his head inside his shell and act like a rock. Tillie would lose interest and all would be well. But no - the turtle is turning his head this way and that and Tillie knows it’s something she really wants. I think it’s time for me to carry her inside so everyone can calm down.

    An Open Letter to All Dogs

    Dear Dogs,

    The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

    The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run.

    I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

    For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. I have been using the bathroom for years–canine attendance is not mandatory.

    The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog’s butt. I cannot stress this enough!

    To pacify you my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door. Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Home:

    1. They live here. You don’t.
    2. If you don’t want hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.(That’s why they call it “fur”niture.)
    3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
    4. To you, it’s an animal. To me he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours, and does not speak clearly.

    Remember: Dogs are better than kids because they: eat less, don’t ask for money all the time, are easier to train, sometimes come when called, never drive your car, don’t hang out with drug-using friends, don’t smoke or drink, don’t worry about having to buy the latest fashions, don’t wear your clothes, don’t need a gazillion dollars for college, and if they get pregnant, you can sell or give away their children.

    Dale Jarrett Thinks Dogs Rule

    Are you a NASCAR fan? Even if you’re not, you might recognize Dale Jarrett’s name. He has a big decision to make soon. His contract is up at the end of this year and he’s trying to decide what to do. Who is he talking to about it? His dog, Zoie, of course. Here’s some of what he said:

    “I sat down with my dog the other day and discussed it with her because I was pretty sure she didn’t have many people she could go to,'’ Jarrett quipped. “So we had a good conversation and I bounced it off of her. Whenever she liked one of the options that I gave her, she would lick me on the face.

    “She’s really the only one that has any idea of really what’s going on. I confided in her more than anyone else.'’

    Zoie, a yellow Labrador retriever, isn’t revealing any of Jarrett’s secrets, and he’s trying his hardest to keep his options private. All he would acknowledge Friday is that he had as many as six offers, but has pared them down to “a few.'’
