Finding myself reflecting on what is often the public’s incorrect understanding of mine and Sigurd’s relationship.
So many people (often cis men) see me with a big, often excited dog and love to talk down to me because they perceive the situation as less controlled or “under one’s thumb” as they expect/desire their own dogs to be (which is often complete shut down control).
In reality Sigurd is the most difficult dog I own. He is aloof, incredibly intelligent, very low biddability, and requires a very specific and curated relationship to do ANYTHING for you. He knows his size and he is in excellent shape. If he wanted to truly drag me and do what he wanted on a walk he would. He does to anybody that’s not me, including Mr D who he will often nip and manipulate to get his way. I am the only one that’s ever been able to get this dog to do work in my hands, be it sports or obedience. These men that negatively “joke” on my lack of control while my dog stands by my side and listens when I hold him back from his excitement would have no idea what to do with him. He would baffle them.
Participated in a dog event today where we were on a team and played silly games. It was neon themed and you got a point for every neon item you or your dog wore. So.
Kram started his very first class yesterday! It’s just a foundation agility class to work on some body confidence and awareness. I think he had fun!! He definitely enjoyed the meatballs I was shoveling into his gaping maw the whole time.
One of my favorite things about clicker training tricks is encouraging the dog to keep trying. This is only the second session on the first day of working on this.
If people are interested I can break down how we got here. It's very much a multi step process. But clicker training tricks is so much fun for dogs and I highly recommend it, especially when it's dark/cold outside and you're looking for inside things to do.
Almost every Tuesday mr d streams horror video games and so it then becomes my job to keep slash calm because it stresses the poor boy to hear mr d being scared on stream lol. So I get to see this face all evening:
