This is a video of Opal, my 4 year old Wirehaired Hungarian Vizsla. I captured video footage the first time I put this safety fan on the coffee table. She loves to bite at the water stream from a garden hose and I wonder if she felt similar sensations doing this.
When I play garden hose games with her I use turn the water on and off and use the game as a reward. eg: I ask Opal to "down" and as a reward she gets to catch the water stream. Hmmmm.... wonder how I could use this as another training opportunity...?
Please know that there are many "funny" dog videos that I find offensive because the dogs show obvious signs of stress. I believe this was safe and stress free for Opal and hope you feel this to be true as well.
Enjoy!

Do these statistics motivate you to do some more training with your dog? Of those reading this that have taken our STEP ONE Class who would like a Recall Workshop in August?

Summer Holidays
The Dog Days of Summer have finally arrived!
Paw In Hand will be taking holidays from July 18 - Aug 7. Part of that time will be family holiday in Oregon and part of the time I will be taking a Dog Trainers course in Washington.
When I come back I will have some fresh ideas for the fall!
Thank you so much for your understanding.
Arrrroooooooo!
