    PROFICIAT MIRTILLO !!
    Prachtige foto's. Ik hoop dat mijn kleine vriend het even snel onder de knie krijgt als Mirtillo. Rond de Kerst is het zo ver. Wij tellen de dagen af. Groetjes uit Hoogstraten.:)

    Congratulations Mirtillo !!
    Great pictures. I sure hope our little friend will learn as fast as Mirtillo does. We'll expect our first B ever somewhere around Christmas. We're counting the days.

    Just a suggestion: When you see him "misbehaving" by chewing on 'less than ideal' items, offer him one of his toys and use the word "trade". In other words, 'chew on this instead', and when he accepts the toy - praise him. And when you see him get the toy on his own, praise him again. It could help him understand that certain toys are just for those times when you want to "rip someone's head off*". (*not meant literally, only in doggy world play)

    I also have a Verizon air card USB - the video may use it all up. Also, instead of using the laptop with the air card, I used my home computer to call it up and found you have to subscribe to something in order to watch - it's my policy not to do that. So, even though the video may be great, you do have to sign up with something to do so.

    What an interesting article - I must say I do use 'No' but in future will think first before I say it!

    @Flash: I was really impressed by how your dog trusts you and stays even when you disappear behind bushes. Was the training time consuming? I am trying to train my 11 month old pup in the rudiments of sitting, staying and coming at so its good to see what is possible with these intelligent little creatures. Well done! Thank you :) The training is definitly time consuming. We started with sit and Mirtillo wasn't planning on laying down or staying for some time. I just waited untill I noticed that he was 'ready' for the next step. The laying down came when the temprature went up and the staying when it was too hot to move ;) For every new step he gets his favorite treat. For the things he already knows he gets some normal kibble. When I'm behind the bushes I'm still saying 'stay', so he knows I'm there. We are trying to get to 30 seconds without me talking.. But he's still a bit too young for that. And they are for sure intelligent creatures..
