008 – Our Dog Whisperer

008

This is Izzy’s trainer.  Today was Izzy’s second (and last for now) training session.  She is doing great on a leash and I’m working on the sit/stay command and some techniques to keep her calm.  I’m also reading a couple of Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) books. 

Cesar's Way Be the Pack Leader

Have y’all seen that show?  He is crazy good with dogs.  They just instinctively listen to and obey him.  I’ve learned a lot from watching him, so I’m hoping the books will help me to understand even more about how a dog thinks and what Izzy needs from me to be a happy dog.  Plus, I want her to be ready to meet her nephew, Bosley, when they come for a visit this summer!!

That is so cool. There are classes like that in our area too. I haven't read his books, but it sounds like he has a gift.

I think that guy is great! I've seen his show a few times. I hope Izzy continues to do well.

I've read a couple of Cesar books- I do think he has a gift! Have you ever watched Victoria Stilwell on Animal Planet? I think she's more my speed, & shows you practical training...

Izzy is big!!!! Cute:)
