Thiessen's Training


Well as many of you may know. We have a puppy, he is 8 months old now and driving us crazy! He has lately been trying to be extra dominate, causing us major frustrations. But on Monday of this week we had a "specialist" or someone who trains dogs a lot come out and show us what we are doing wrong. Within a few short minutes Thiessen had learned how to heal. Now he hasn't completely mastered it outside of this training, but we are working on it, and he is showing signs of improvement. He has been sleeping in our room on a special blanket the past few days. In the past if we tried to have him sleep outside of his kennel he would be up about 2a.m. and then 4a.m. and then again at 6a.m. (the 6a.m. one was the worst cause it was so close to when we were waking up and it was just brutal). But lately when we have been working with him, he will sleep until about 6a.m. and usually I have to admit it is me who wakes him up. The furnace will turn on or something and startle me awake, and it has been quite the adventure. But usually at that time if we move him to the kennel he is quite content until about 7:30-8:00. It works out very nicely with our sleeping patterns then too.
Mike and I also were able to take in the lovely WILD game. And "lovely" is minorly sarcastic. The WILD basically handed the game to the Flames in the first 2 minutes of the game, allowing for 2 goals right off the bat. The refs of course where of no help either. The refs called Meiko for a call that was not necessary and then missed a tripping call against the Flames. But overall it was an enjoyable experience. Below is a picture of us, after I told Mike he had to smile!
