Should be, "The Smartest Dog Ever!"

Hahaha no la, earlier John put "The Smart Dog Ever". I'm merely correcting him. My Chelsea's definitely not the smartest ever but she is the fattest ever la.

If the pappy say the son blur blur, means the son memang blur blur gua. But Prince gradually becoming a big boy liao. Last week JT, he bully a stray dog wor. The stray so cham, he come to kepoh at the other furkids but Prince bark at him, macam saying, "Ceh, you outsider! Go away, you're not welcomed".

Later when fight with Bank, he fight back wor. Means graduating from blur blur to 'standing up for himself'.

John must be everyday grab Prince's face and say, "Prince, you cannot be blur blur. Be a man!" 

He just bark at the stray la but the dog treat Prince's bark like mosquitoes flying like that. Totally ignore Prince. I think Prince is the only that that the stray didn't actually greet. Others he come over and touch noses with them.

BTW, Amanda, you say you need a pic of Abby with big head ya? Can use the header pic in my blog as the pic? Or you want a resized one? If you want a resized one, I post that version in my next post le. Apa macam?

Yeah lor. I hate the fact that they use choke chains. Very cruel to see them being tugged.

Last time I join my friend to one of the training class. He tug gently at his furkid and the instructor walk over to him and say, "If you want to do it, do it the right way!" and tug hard. Omg, my heart also sink when I hear his furkid yelped with pain. Maybe not all instructors like that lar, but I personally scared of them.

This instructor should be slapped. People bring their furkid there to be trained, not tortured. The owner never do anything? I'll tell him/her off directly.

Added on December 8, 2007, 10:32 amHi all GR owner
i just wanted to find out from you all... how your GR behaviours when he come to meet another or some other dogs??
I know GR like to play (but not every dog can play ma) and also very busybody.. when meet with others dog while walking he will turn like the cowboy caught a wild horse jumping up and down pulling the leash here and there he so strong pulling until my arm painful sometime feel like just let go the leash let him go near and let other dog teach him a lesson.. 
1 time my frined pull his dog met my by the road side. my GR happy want to go near and play but his dog a Pit Bull quite waiting to attach.   
How to teach him to think twice which is a play dog or a fight dog?

Erm 1 question here. My dog nowadays does not finish his food not like last time where once put the food into his bowl he will finish it straight away but now no d. Everyday my dad feeds him rice with chicken but all he does is eat the chicken n leave the rice behind but be4 tat he used 2 finish it all every his dogge biscuit he dont finish it. Any possible reason??

Rolling on the floor is easy, it's better to do it on a softer surface like grass. When he's relaxed in a lying down position, just help him roll over and tell him the command. Be careful not to scare him though - do it slowly.

The sit-up command should be ok for GRs to perform, but you need to teach him to balance on his hind legs first. Start off by slowly lifting his paws up and give him the command. Help him bit by bit and with plenty of practice he should be able to perform it himself.

The sit-up is Hunter's favourite move. He does it when we tell him "sit up!". Whenever he did something wrong, he's impatient (waiting for treats) or when he's confused (asking him to do a command that he doesn't know), he does this as well. 



Yea GRs love the attention and they love being talked to. Hunter does the hand thing too when he does something wrong! Is that a gr thing? 

My dogs are all trained. Sheriff still needs some work as I wasn't consistent in training him when I was in Malaysia. Hunter has the most experience in obedience competitions, Muffin is quite okay but gets distracted when other dogs are around.

hi Amanda,

I stopped training for MKA because I received a job offer at Vietnam. I've been working at Vietnam since last month, hence I haven't been training already.

You're still active in agility? Heard Paco is doing well in it 

Wow you're at final year already? So classes must've been hectic huh?

I don't think I'm gonna be back on track anytime soon. I'll be here for more than a year. If I like it here, I might stay longer. I'm hoping to bring my dog to Vietnam, but there are concerns about it so I didn't (Vietnamese eat dogs, lacking of pet health services, lacking of good pet food for sale etc)
