Hyper Dog, training it....

.Things You'll Need:
Dog training collar
Leash
Treats (hot dog pieces work well)
1Use up some of your dog's energy. Start in the morning with a long walk or run. She is not going to ever focus on any training technique until she calms down. A training collar is suggested, because dogs with this much energy can twist and turn, and pull their way out of basic collars. The training collar does not have to be "cruel." Just choose a slip collar that will naturally tighten around her neck if she starts to pull against it. Ask about it at your local pet supply store.

2Focus on training. Take him into your yard, or any place where there are no distractions, such as other dogs, people or cars. Have a baggie with sliced hot dog pieces for treats. These work well as rewards for good behavior, and the aroma alone will get your dog's attention.

3Avoid the useless commands and tricks at this point. "Shake" and "roll over" are cute and fun, but this really doesn't help train your dog to be better behaved. Begin with "sit", "down" and "stay," using voice and hand gestures. Use those treats to keep her eyes focused on you. Keep your voice firm, but calm. And really emphasize your words. When she does as she is told, reward her with a piece of hot dog. Repeat each command four to five times.

4Work on getting your dog to stop pulling and tugging on the leash. Always choose a one word command that he will remember. A good one for walking on the leash is "easy." Walk him around the yard or whatever area you are in. When he starts to pull (sniffing for a squirrel or something else), tug quickly and firmly on the leash and say "easy." Your goal is to get him into the habit where he will stop and turn around to look back at you to see what you want. When he does that, reward him with another hot dog piece. Repeat this four or five times. Begin working this command into your regular walks.

5Don't wear your dog out on this in one session. Each training session should just be 5 or ten minutes. Do this a couple times a day. It may sound like quite a commitment, but the repetition is key. Stick with the basic commands. Eventually you should be able to drop the leash (in a fenced yard or controlled environment of course), and have her follow commands to "sit", "down" and "stay." She should learn to stay where she is until you give another command such as, "O.K."! Then clap your hands and basically tell her she is free to get up. Give her the treat, and let her relax.

his poor rash thing came back

When i went to the vet he said it was eiether yeast or something else (i forgot) thats what he has. Buy id have to share with you is Mo taking pills. SUCHA BABY! he crawls on all fours and turns his head and sighs you. he trys to run to the other room, slowely, like he doesn't hear you calling your name. haha! I have to shove his pills down his throat. i tried putting his pills in his food, with peanut butter and everything. he will get around it!

Sneakk Sneaky Mo Mo

When i watching my moms dog, i had small dog bones up stairs in the extra bedroom. He found the alright, we can say that one. One day I was downstairs i saw him go upstairs i had the package half up open, i told him to come downstairs immediatly but did he listen "no!". He came downstiars with his mouth completely closed like nothing happend, he went to his cage i heard crunch, crunch, crunch! Gosh Darn he got a hold of a dog bone up there. Sneaky lil thing. I had to get Deija a bone. She had that look like "what about me, mom?"

Jumping Mo

Mo and his jumping inside. He has a thing about jumping over corner of the couch lately and now the WHOLE couch. i was in the kitch and my husband happend to see this dog jump over the WHOLE couch. he made and got a part of our other dogs head....lol. FuNnY!

Its Him....that did it!!!

He jumps over corner couches for 3days in a row. Thats instantly when he comes inside the house.
He is a man, trys to hump his long lost friend Dessie at the park today. Embarrasment....
Of coarse Deija everyday or other day.
Sneaks upstairs when we think he is in the kitchen or in his cage at night. He comes ....crawling downstairs fast with a silly grin on his face.
He barks at the basketball players kids next door....nonstop.

Mo is last

Mo actually ate last today in lunch's food with Deija. Usually Deija is last one. Wierd huh? Deija had 2 bowls. She was a hungry one. Today Mo will have his followup with his vet for his skin infection. Lets see how it goes? So far the redness has gone down.

He has an Infection

We took him to the vet last night. And he was scarced. He loves people but not used to petsmart bandfield. Loves pets too! They were great! They made him feel so welcome, they greeted him and made sure they had smelled him and much better than that free clinic i took him too across town back in september or august. So the vet came in and said he has a infection. He got a shot and also a skin scraping to be sure it was an infection. Because he scratches the vet gave us some medicine shampoo and told us to bathe him once every day for the next 3days then once every other day for three days then once every week. Ugh oh! i think Mo i going to hate this one! he hates water. this monday we are off to see the vet again. So today we tried the bath thing, he didnt get in the tub so its a good thing we have a stand up shower- he got in that. 10- 15minutes for the shampoo to sit in the skin. he was whining. i had toys, a kong filled with peanut butter and his bone. he licked the peanut butter. thats it! he did a good job. i feel sorry for my Mo-Mo's! And we believe it to be all the rain and the environment for this awesomeness skin infection. He has allergies. and to make a note the Ecollar lasted 20minutes.

Cuddles Finally with Mom

He always cuddles with Dad. And his cuddles is scoots his butt against the couch to you and rub his back legs. The other day he did something like that but he put his back leg up on the couch to Dad. With me I had Deija over me, and Mo between my knee and my foot but on the floor. I was petting both of them at the same time. So cute!!

When you try to get a picture of Mo, this is what you get....

Mo walking in the camera and you think its a good picture...sucha boy and doesn't sit there long enough....haha

Mo is at Petsmart Grooming

Mo is at Petmart to get his nails trimmed for the most part but bath as well, ears are included in the package we got. He is a rhodesian ridgeback and they go by breed when it comes to paying this, it was 26.99.

On the way over he thought he was giong to the dog park. Whenever grandma shows up its dog park. but not this time. On the way over Mo sat on Deija While deija's head was poking thru the bottom of Mo. it was a picture moment without a camera. When we walked in, I can tell Mo was a little scared. He was smelling everything. He even jumped on the counter to smell some papers. We had deija with us for some company and when we left we took her to the dog park. And when we got park. The lady said When Mo first arrived he poo'ed in the cage, he was nervous. And she can tell he didnt like his ears getting clean. And yes my folks that his true. When we do that at home. We have a bottle to clean them every so often and now we have to hide the bottle. If he sees it, He will run and hide in the cage, and poke his head out like do you still have it? the dog groomer says he was a good boy. And he is.

Ice Cube Bug

I was cleaning out the freezer, ok a sorta clean and Mo was right there. I gave him an ice cube. He wouldn't go away. I gave him another. He was still there.I found an old ice cube bag with slush in it and divided it among Deija and Mo.They loved it!!!!

Mo's New Toys...Deija's Too

Mo squekes his toys while Deija follows and wags the tail.

Counter Surfing...Again!

He loves to counter surf but when he starts to walking in the kitchen i look and i ask him "are you walkin to the right or the left because the left you have no reason too?" and what does he do.....he goes to the to left where the counters are and gets up on the counters where DAD left peanut butter on the counter for Mo to get on the counter. Ugh! Me marcthing in there and Mo jumps down and he goes to the right side to the window and looks out which is allowable. I love my Mo- Moes but he is not allowed to counter surf.

Today....

What he loves to do and what the owners says "No..!" Going into the bathroom and stealing tissue is a big no-no. He did that today and he got it good. He ripped it up in tiny little pieces just for me to pick up. Deija was amused by it. Before I had left to work I had to put them inside the cages because of the rain had started. Well when i was eating breakfast, Mo, had got under the table and got under our chair that has a nice cloth-ie thing hanging down and all you can see is his feet hanging out under the chair. It was cute! No camera around. Of coarse Deija was near under that table as well.

His Sleepiness

Wow! He does go to sleep early. 5: 30pm and in his bed. I would have to think its because of winter time. It get dark faster and its cold. burr! He plays with Deija all day long and comes in and eat and plays a little bit. After that he goes straight to his bed. First things first, he puffs his beds up....its a must for him. And then he lays down. Very rarely he will go to sleep right away. He is just laying down. Deija, the sister is still playing. If he hears treats in the kitchen being handed out. He is there and out in a few seconds. When it comes to commands like 'come mo' it takes a few times. He is tired! But he has to obey the master. He is out to us and back to his cage/bed. So cute and adorable!

I adore him

I adore my dog Mo. If no one knew better all dogs have personality. and he sure does as well as deija

Teasing Deija with a Toy

Mo loves to tease Deija with the toys. The sqeukys ones. He goes over and squeks it, then drops it, waits there for Deija to come over. And quickly picks it up before Deija does. Then the war or Tug of Squeky start. And who can get it? Its funny.

Mo's dinner time

Dinner time we put food down for Mo in the kitchen and Deija ran thru Mo and ate his food. While Mo ran to us and fell over on his belly for a belly rubs. Which is very unlike him! It was weird for Mo to have Deija eating out of his bowl, but we did stick her bowl down next to his. So he did go over and he her food. It was cute. A moment of cuteness.

Mo's Weird Thing

Mo's tried to get away from Deija for a moment. First time he did this. It was when he was with Grandma and we were at disneyland. Grandma got up to do something and Mo got up in this chair. Its a camping chair. Haha! In the picture he is making a slight noise to Deija, like "ok, i will get you"
