[nagdu] families and our dogs

[Cindy Ray]

Mary, practice plenty of obedience, walk where and when you can, and know
that spring will come. What kind of criticism. If any of it is usable, use
it. If not, don't bother with it. I can't believe you have had Felix that
long. WOW time flies.

Hello,

 

Felix and I just celebrated our third anniversary together.

My family remains rather critical of my handling of my dog.  It is true that
we still have a pretty major problem with scavenging.  Our field rep came
and worked with us.  I am realizing that I must practice food distraction
training on a daily basis.

It is a real problem for us to work a whole lot especially outside.  I have
a balance problem with falling on ice.  Our temps have gone below zero also.

I am quite discouraged right now.  I know I should probably go practice at a
mall.  I seem to be just venting on this list, but if anyone has ever felt
discouraged and can offer a word of cheer, I would appreciate it.

 

Mary and Felix
