Dear Spanky, my owner is reading training books, I hope this is going to be a good experience. The last time we tried the trick thing he lost his temper, and I really felt dumb, it took me a long time to get my confidence back. I'm really scared this is going to be a bad thing. Help !!! Butch ---------------------Dear Butch, lighten up, I think your owner is going to have a plan for success so try it again, I think this time you will have fun !!! ------------- Dear Spanky, about once or twice a week my owner takes me off to our private room to teach me a trick, but it just isn't going well, I can't remember what he wants me to do. Pugs-------Dear Pugs, whats your owner thinking, how can you be consistent if they are not, once or twice a week is not enough time to teach you a trick! I suggest that next time you walk very slowly to the training room and don't look happy no matter how good the treat is!!!------ Dear Spank, just don't enjoy this trick thing, its just not me and would rather sit by my favorite window what should I do ?! Mac------Dear Mac, you need to hold out for better treats, get her to up the anni !!!!!------ Dear Spankster, I simply love , love ,love this trick idea, except I noticed that I'am LOOSEING MY GIRLISH FIGURE!!!!-----Dear Bitsey, go for it!!!! you lucky dog, you are probably getting your normal size meal with great treats !!!!! ---------------- NO ONE WILL ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY FOR THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN
