Hello. My name is...

So, we're still working with Flash's shyness & timid tinkling issues. He's got moments of brilliance then he takes 10 steps backwards for what appears to be no apparent reason. Well, Flash has a reason but he hasn't opted to share it with us at this point. [And thank you Jennifer for sending us your DAP spray. We put it on the blankets in our crates...]

Several books, including a book on shy dogs and clicker training [illustrated no less] were ordered. Along with a book on managing a multi-dog household in a positive manner. Now, I've had a multi-dog household and I thought I was managing it as best I could. I think I can do better. I WANT to do better. I want to be better for Evie and Flash...and Gracie!




Meet Gracie [Pat C Dark Moon]. I actually wanted to pay homage to her southern roots and call her Pie, a la Dark Moon Pie but I was vetoed. I had originally posted about her back-story but decided to remove it for a wide variety of reasons.

We really know nothing about her except she's not cat safe. She was a decent runner so we hope she'll be fun & help out Flash too. She's catching a ride us just in time for Christmas! What a full household all of a sudden - hence my goal to work on positive training. Not to say I wasn't positive before, sometimes I think things dissolved into chaos though. This will be better and help me keep my sanity!
