Alice the Camel Feb 2016 10:47am, 25 Feb 2016 2,524 posts	0 Alice the Camel Flossie really is a star. I remember how well mannered she was when I met her. Charlie and I aspire to similar, but I fear we're a way off yet. BUT Success story! Thanks again to the words of wisdom on this lifesaver of a thread. I spent yesterday trying to tempt Charlie with cheese to use his bed - a new taste for him. He loves cheese, it turns out (no surprise there). By the end of the day, we'd got to the stage where he'd climb onto his bed, wait for me to give him cheese, then climb off again. This morning, I was pottering about in the kitchen and eventually noticed this: Lying in his bed without a cheese bribe! He still won't go in it if it's in the utility room, preferring to sleep on an old blanket in there but that's OK.

D2 Feb 2016 12:53pm, 25 Feb 2016 8,563 posts	0 D2 unbearably cute is the correct description All these clever dogs! I have just left mine for the first time as I had to pop to the vet's on a very sad errand but got back to find the house still standing and nothing chewed.. remarkable, I am a very lucky new owner. We did our homework this morning, the trainer said go somewhere with no distractions to make sure you are not setting the dog up for a fail so we went inside the ceremony barn to do our walking to heal on a loose lead...... Bryony thinks I'm mad even with cheese bribes - "what is the point of this" is the question I saw in her eyes!

LazyDaisy Feb 2016 1:11pm, 25 Feb 2016 13,400 posts	0 LazyDaisy Oh yes, Primula, I'd forgotten about that! It also makes your fingers smell very interesting and keeps the dog paying close attention to you as you do all the heel/wheel/puppy recall type exercises
Alice the Camel Feb 2016 1:50pm, 25 Feb 2016 2,525 posts	0 Alice the Camel Must get some Primula! We start School tonight so I'm going to need all the help I can get. RS - he's a Maltese terrier/poodle cross. (I prefer this to "Maltipoo" which I'm rather embarrassed to say out loud)
LazyDaisy Feb 2016 1:54pm, 25 Feb 2016 13,403 posts	0 LazyDaisy I empathise with that Alice. All these -poo names sound a bit,whispers well, naff. (Apologies to everyone I've just offended :-))
