Sit!

I have a few minutes so that is why I am wasting them writing on the blog. Regardless, we recently adopted a sweet Heinz 57 Beagle. My kids have been praying for this dog for years. I mean YEARS! I finally lost it and got our puppy.

To say the least, I was worried that it will be one of the ill behaved dogs that jump on everyone and bark incessantly. You know, all of the bad habits that we all enjoy so much.

We made it through the crying phase (2 days)--he doesn't do that anymore and he doesn't really bark unless Mack gets over there and barks with him. So now how do I get him to stop climbing on the kids, nibbling, etc.

After intense research--I started the sit command yesterday. And Biscuit got it! He sits on command! I can't believe it. Now reinforcement stage. Could my anxiety be for not? I guess my biggest surprise was how easy it was to get him to do what he was told. Good Boy Buiscuit!  Good Boy!
