Good point. I really enjoy helping others and that’s probably one of the big reasons why I raise puppies for people with disabilities.

I have a cat and knows how it’s hard to train her to do what I needed.

At the end of the day, you learn to accept the imperfection, that things would not always progress as fast as we wanted. The most important thing to blogging or anything to me, is to keep reminding yourself why you do it.

For example that I enjoy my cat’s company, and sharing useful content. These reasons are the root of my actions.

All the best!

Hi Magnolia!

You just made my day! Thank you so much for expressing your appreciation for the blog! I’m glad Stetson’s crate training story helped you stick to your guns when you were working with your puppy. It’s been a while since I first wrote about Stetson. He will be 9 at the end of the year and Linus will be 11. Also, we will likely have another service dog puppy in training coming to the house soon. You’ll hear more about him in the coming days.

Again, thank you for your wonderful comment. I hope to hear from you again soon!

Take care,
Colby

It’s tough to be patient. We want our pups to get it right away. I receive countless emails from people telling me their puppy cannot figure out potty training. When I ask how long and how old is your pup I often hear: “She’s 8 weeks old and we’ve had her 3 days.” Patience my friends…

That’s a great point Kathryn! Training is an ongoing process and therefore remaining consistent, persistent, and patient throughout the lifetime of your dog is very important if you want a well-behaved dog. Thanks for stopping by! It’s always good to hear from you.

I have a three year old Lab that is my fifth dog to raise and train. In the past I had read books, went to dog training classes and worked very hard at doing my part to have a well mannered dog in the family. I even won first place obedience awards. Then along came eight week old Levi, the chocolate lab. It had been 16 years since my last puppy and, of course, he proved to be the most challenging!
I found your blog and so enjoyed the wisdom, encouragement, and humor.
Your shared experience with crate training Stetson kept me full of hope as I listened to my puppy insist he was going to die if I didn’t open that door and hold him! It wasn’t long before he retreated to the crate for a nap!
I spoke of your blog to anyone with a dog!
It was frustrating and disappointing as the blog lost steam. I took to re-reading posts.
Thanks for your commitment to the blog and your willingness to answer questions!!
Today Levi is the best mannered member of the household. He takes long walks off lead (in urban setting) and is a fetching, swimming and jumping machine! He is such a pleasure and lives up to your promise that patience and persistence and consistency will deliver a giant payoff,
Thank you!!
I so look forward to enjoying your blog into the future!
To

However it does pay off in the end! 🙂

I’ve been partnered with a service dog for over three years. If I don’t consistently review his obedience and task training, he chooses to forget or pretend the rules no longer apply. These dogs are super-smart, and if they aren’t regularly working and learning they get bored and act out.
