Right after we do bizness outside, Lexi is asked to &#8220;stay&#8221; at the bottom of the stairs, while I run upstairs to hide somewhere. My favorite place to hide is right at the top of the stairs behind a GLASS door in our living area. I call to [...]]]></description>

If that clip isn&#8217;t enough to make you NOT want to watch him, I don&#8217;t know what will! I am amazed that he is still on TV, especially on the same [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lexi is scheduled for her spay surgery next Friday. I had learned previously that it&#8217;s best to stop fish oil 7-10 days before surgery, because of the anti-clotting properties. I stopped giving it the other day. I also just realized that it&#8217;s better to stop Vitamin E as well, for the same reasons, so I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I was petting Lexi, and I noticed that there was a strange lump on Lexi&#8217;s right upper thigh. I checked her other leg to see if it was symmetrical, but didn&#8217;t feel anything. I didn&#8217;t panic, because right now, I am assuming it&#8217;s just a muscle bruise; she&#8217;s always running around like crazy, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I admit, I occasionally watch the TV show &#8220;The Dog Whisperer&#8221; but I don&#8217;t agree with his training methods. I believe in positive re-enforcement, and not forcing the dog to do something. I am not alone in my disbelief of Cesar Milan&#8217;s training methods. Here are a few links: http://www.4pawsu.com/dogpsychology.htm http://www.ourdogsonline.com &#8211; forum posts http://www.komonews.com/home/video/37440019.html?video=pop&#038;t=a [...]]]></description>

Mindy has been a little unfocused during the prior two classes, but I think a lot of it was due to my disorganization at the start of the class. We were just barely on time one week, which meant I didn&#8217;t have my usual pre-class [...]]]></description>

Carol chose Mindy to demonstrate the process. Drop the rug on the floor, and when the dog sniffed, looked, touched the mat/rug, click and treat. Well, it didn&#8217;t take Mindy long to [...]]]></description>
