After a week of hellraising howling, crying hiding, and general fussing, Bernie has finally accepted that the great wide world will be a lovely place ON A LEASH!
He truly has come leaps and bounds, literally! Sit, come, sit by the door to go out, and best of all crate training was a dream! The leash training was his greatest moment of "beaglebrattiness". Hours upon hours of bribes, play, whining, crying, and hiding, resulted in Bernie waking up, grabbing the leash, and running around the house full tilt! As others have said, NILIF is the way to go, but I generally thought that was meant for the puppy! This week, I was NILIF'ed lol. I'll post a couple of pics of him, being proud, happy, and finally relaxing by the fireplace!
Thanks for reading, Kym and a now sleeping Bernie!
