Our Awesome Dogs
I am truly a very proud owner of 4 furry kids. 3 of them are making their “debut” tonight. I hope you enjoy these quick little videos that show just how awesome they are!
My Chocolate Lab, Murphy, has the patience of a monk. My husband and I have trained him to be patient with his treats and not devour them until we say the magic word, “OK”. He’s a little over 3 years old now and has been doing this since he was a puppy. We thought this was maybe just a docile lab thing, but the same “trick” is carried out by our Pit Bull, Harley, and our Pug, Tucker.
With a little time, commitment, and patience, ANY dog can be patient & obedient!
(Note: I tell my hubs “please don’t” because he was attempting to moon the camera! lol) 
Our three dogs, (from l to r) Murphy, Tucker, and Harley have all been trained to have patience and discipline when it comes to getting treats. It’s our belief that you don’t just give a treat to your dog for nothing. You make them do something for it. In this video you will all three dogs in a down position (Harley gets up and immediately goes back down) and then a treat is placed directly in front of them. They intently look up at whoever is asking for their attention. They are not supposed to touch the treat or paw at it. They wait until they hear the magic word, “OK”. Obedient dogs are happy dogs!
(Once again, Note: I tell my hubs “not cool” because he was attempting to moon the camera! lol)
*These were both taken using the iPhone app, ‘ivideocamera’*
I adore this! You know I have a soft sport for Tucker since a) he’s a pug and b) he shares a name with one of my sons. I miss my pug so much! Your doggies are very well behaved. Much better than your husband apparently! LOL
I kinda figured you’d like this! Yes, Tucker is our little, oldest baby. He’s really starting to show signs of his aging. But then again, I’ve been saying this for the past 3 years.
I’ve worked very hard to get these dogs well trained…but don’t be fooled they’re all still completely reckless!!!
Thanks for the comment hubs! And, shh… don’t let ppl think our dogs aren’t perfect angels! LOL
Awwww! What sweet little videos! I’m a proud parent of a furball Shih-Tzu and she seriously is my entire world. I am not ashamed to say that she’s my daughter! I believe animals are healers personally and they bring so much peace to us and the people around them. Mine is the first that I have had as an adult, after being the Auntie/Uncle to all my friends’ animals, and nothing makes me happier than being out in the country visiting friends being surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes. Yours are all absolutely adorable…your Pug kills me, those snorts…those eyes…and I love that they snore!
Nice blog, I’ll be coming back
