Here's what the humans have to say about me:
http://www.valleydogs.org/cp_frankie.html --
Hi there! My name is Frankie.
He is doggy door trained. Sleeps un-crated in my bedroom all night with no potty incidents. His morning habits include 4 a.m. feeding followed by a mile or so bike run, leashed on left. I do this in the dark as he still has some distraction issues if we run into other dogs/cats… he just wants to play. We still do walks later in the day, to practice with the distractions. He has overcome his confinement issues (Kennel & car entry) very well. I use the command “Kennel” and slight guide with collar to get him in his kennel.
We use the Kennel only when away from the house, as he has some separation anxiety which leads to some mischievous activities. I use the command “In” to get him into the car. When we first got Frankie, these two activities took a wrestling match to accomplish. I’m very happy to report that he now does both quite willingly. Although, the kennel is still the least favorite. I initially used a “small dog bark collar” in combination with the kennel until it was no longer needed. He is very loving & sweet. I’ve had him at the dog park & he plays with dogs of all sizes with no aggression. Has been around adults & kids and shown only love. Doesn’t appear afraid of anything. Loves to be hosed down, but doesn’t jump into pool. Eats dinner at 4 p.m. Sits. Shakes, High Fives. Lay Down. Off. Stays (short term) THANK YOU FOR HELPING US.
