Rambleings of a consistant dreamer

Mostly about my little fur child Tiger Lou

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Finally I found the right sd card that had the pictures from the road trip this summer on it. Lou sat in between my Dad and I the whole way from Alberta to Ontario a little squished but he didn't seem to mind too much. Lou's doing pretty good and likes our neighbour's which include a peckinese and a very poofy pomerainian which he's made friends with which was quite nice to see. Lou's little sister is fairly yappy and as such we've been trying all sorts of different methodes to control the barking all to no avail and as such we've decided to try a shock collar which seems to be working alright although I really didn't want to use a shock collar and I'm with most people in thinking that they're cruel but it's only a small shock such as when you step out of you veichal and get shocked and it turns off atomatically after acertain number of barks which is good. So although I still don't like the collar it's the option that seems to be working. Because we used to punish Maple by putting her in a submissive position but then she just figured if she punished her self then she could continue to bark so she would bark and punish herself then bark again it was a little funny that she figured that out but clearly that method wasn't working hence the collar. Maple's only been shock three times so I think that she's learning and that she's in a way outgrowing the barking because she's not as yappy as she one was. It's important that we continue to socialize her and let her expirence new places and people because that was one of the reasons she was so yappy was because she was nervous.
