Happy New Year
time for self-reflection?
- If your pet could dream up New Year’s resolutions, would they go something like this?…
| A Pet’s New Year’s Resolutions | A Pet Owner’s New Year’s Resolutions |
| I will be fed on demand. Ad lib. Freely available. At all times. NOW | I will stick to a healthy diet. I will lose weight. My pet will lose weight too. |
| I will wake up early each morning and join in the dawn chorus. | I will walk every day. I will decide when to walk, not my dog. |
| The neighbours shall not upset me. | The neighbours shall not upset me. |
| I will be friends with all furry family members. I will not bully <<insert other species>>. | I will set aside time for friendships. My pets do not need my every waking moment devoted to them. |
| No new family members please (see above). | Time for another furry family member. |
Bella: destroy our sleeping patterns to get her night time license again. Asha: no more visits to the vet EVER.
My new years resolution is to increase the awareness world wide of postive reward based pet traning. I have created a facebook group to help. The aim is to get an internation year of positive reward based dog training. If you agree with this type of training please join the group and tell your friends. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_140960019295445
The cats resolution is to sleep 22 hours a day instead of the 20 he gets now.
Thanks for liking my comment Jason. Can you go to the site and like the group I am aiming to have as many members as possible world wide in 6 mths to hopefully get some media attention to the fact that pets need to be trained positively.
