Clicker training and dont piss us off

Its a rainy saturday.. supposed to go shelter for pack walk but we woke up to a heavy downpour..
heard that ericsson pathway was flooded.
waited till 9am but the rain doesnt seems to be stoppingnor getting smaller and so packwalk was cancelled :(
Poor doggies... we really wanted to bring you out, but all the humans are taking turns to fall sick :(

I hope everyone get well soon, and have a healthy year ahead..

Last Last Saturday..

Tui refused to get up even when i drag him on his leash.
And there he gave his funny looking face.

Yenyen looking demure and class

Hugging the lazy pig

Tiny Joei and Tiny Puopi

We had clicker training with fred at one of the HDB area. Peanut was my partner for the day. Prepared a whole bag of diced hot dog for her.

Peanut was much more nicer to walk as compared to last time. Perhaps because we know what we want to achieve now. And with the guidance from fred and shirley, i managed to stay on track and shirley helped to correct me on points that i didnt realise. We took turns to go up and role play as dog and handler, super funny..We get to do all the stunts that the dogs do to us during pack walk, tugging, jumping, sitting down, shutting down, run here and there and poucing on handler... 

Haha. I ran alot throughout the journey (as reward for peanut as she doesnt take food while walking). I managed to survived the whole session without water as we only had our treat pouch and leash with us, not even handphone ! Almost K.o-ed when i reach shelter.

On sunday was supposingly puopi's last day with us.

Jack and Tonic on a chilling morning

Tonic

Jack looks abit like vampire here i dunno why.

The two terrorists playing.
Yea, this is how our dogs play... very rough right!

Puopi at the bus stop 1

Him looking cute and innocent with a chipped off tongue :X

Peanut look as if she is dying soon

We walked to pasir ris beach.


Me and NFL :)


At the beach's shelter:

Tui tried to seduce Minghui into giving him her treats...
His puppy eye doesnt work, electric current not strong enough and so he.. ahem...




One hand on her lap...


and got ignored...



He thinking why his seduction doesnt work... while Joy did nth much and get so much treats from minghui...



And then he tried putting another paw on her lap.
Well, still fail.
You should have tried that on me lar!! I give u the whole packet ok!!
Ur charm doesnt work on Mh.
her taste weird weird one HAHAHAHHA


Slacked at the shelter as usual and nicole barked at one of indian woman standing at the side, as taught we should bring the dog nearer to the person to see what causes it to bark- was it out of fear or was it because she wants to play (Because when they bark doesnt mean they aggressive).

U see, she can also be an Indian dog. With beautiful eyeliner

Pretty terrorist

As weijie brought her nearer, the woman walked away, and a malay guy abt 20 + made a comment in a stern voice saying: "u better .... dunno wad the dog."

Everyone missed out the middle word. Den he kept walking to and fro and stare at us like he wants to challenge us.

We do understand that not everyone can accept animals or big dogs in public but well, your action and face just pissed 10 of us off hahaha. He walked in the opposite direction shortly after his gf (i assume) came. And.....

One by one we took our dogs and followed him for a good 100 metres i think? I took yenyen and tui. Havent walk the both of them tgt for ages. No harm. We just want to show them that mongrels are not as scary and dangerous as they seem so, dun judge and give us the stare, cause we never owe you nor hurt you nor cause any nuisance to you or the public.

They stopped and "rest" at the toilet area while we walked past them and hang around the area for a good 5-10 mins. And they continue to stay in the outside area of the toilet and look at us.

Wonder will we be stomped. =X

The weather was seriously killing all of us. 

All of us were practising loose leash training. Tried on my bf this time. Awwww he is such a sweet heart.

When he pulls, i stop, he turns back and look at me and walk back nicely to my side.

One thing that we were taught: dont just focus on correcting the dogs, u need to praise them when they are doing right by saying yes! Goodddd~. Its just like managing ur employees to subordinate, people focus too much on mistakes and forget to reward and appreciate the correct things that others have done.

We need to really need to put more attention to this.

On the way back to shelter, tui was walking super nicely beside me on my left. And so i tried using the kiapkiap and kiap him to my bag and i walk.

Me and my lovely Tui

Bf PMS-ing :(( 
Eh dun anyhow learn and say i also do it hor. I have ample trust on the dog im handling and my eyes did not leave him throughout the walk. I still have co trol over the leash thou. Just wanna see if he can follow me without me holding on to the leash. When he smell the grass, i jus need to either wait for him or tug myself slightly in the opposite direction and he will go back to the original position without me calling him.

Gave him tons of praises and hugs :))

Super relunctant face to bath

After this session i became 2 shades darker @.@

Mh wanted to walk out to the main road alone but we stopped by and force her to squeeze into the car. Someone in the car say "one for all and all for one".

VA team spirit, i like.
