Training my dumbass dog

Update:

My wife and I really stepped up the crate training, and with the addition of the muzzle he is night and day better. The last two days I have not even needed the muzzle. I caught him looking in the trash yesterday and I happened to be within reach of the muzzle on the counter. I picked it up and the look on his face was priceless. He gets it now, he did this little smile thing he does when he knows he is in trouble and backed away from the trash without me saying a word. Awesome.

Putting the 00 buck away... I am here if you need me!

Excellent! Now keep at it... dogs learn by doing the same thing over and over and over and over. People want to know why Casey always sits when she comes to the crosswalk at an intersection, leash or no leash. The answer is simple: Because every single time we've gone for a walk in the past 6 years, she was made to sit at the crosswalk of an intersection.

Glad he's doing better!!! It can be a pain when they do this type of stuff. I had a Staffordshire/Lab mix that actually ate a hole in the side of my house years ago - came home to a weird noise coming from the backyard, and sure enough he was doing his best beaver impression.

If he starts slipping try shaming him.

That only works if you make him stand on the corner of a busy intersection with the sign.

I'm pretty sure that's a hate crime in Boulder.
