Fourth NoseWork Class

I'm a Big Boy Now!

I'm a big boy now!  Mama started the switch over to adult dog food.....Too bad for her that I won't actually mature until I'm over 2 years old!  That means she'll have to put up with my random temper tantrums for a couple years yet.... heheheheh.......

Male belly wrap

Not sure if it can get any more humiliating than this for a Rottweiler! Male wrap: directions: position the wrap so the microfiber pad covers your dog's masculinity. Sorry Brutus.... but I will not be able to help myself from cracking diaper jokes, but I promise not to take you outside while wearing it! This is strictly for indoor until you are over the UTI or marking, which ever it is that makes you want to spritz inside!

Trick Class

Well, Brutus did ok at Trick class.  He seemed to mostly worry about what the other dogs were doing.  The antiobiotics could be affecting him a bit.  He loves Silke, his trainer, and seems to listen to her better than me.  Weird, it's like they know they are the professionals, and want to impress them???  Can't figured it out!  I noticed that this same thing happened with his previous trainer.  He started jumping through a hoop, although he does tend to just plow through the hoop.  Guess today's goal will be to buy a hoop.  He has previously broke 2, with my  hoop jumping attempts.  We reviewed, shake.  Does this great with both paws.  He demonstrated his "Paws up."  This trick he learned in just minutes.... he absolutely LOVES jumping up, so think he actually enjoys this!  I'm going to get video of that posted today.  Also trying to prep him to have him sit/beg.  I've been trying to do this for months, but he can't seem to support himself to sit up on his butt. Take it / Drop it...... a real struggle for me... this will take some work.  Tomorrow is our 4th NoseWork class...... he loves this!

Raw bones..... My favorite!

Brutus is chillin' with his raw bone. He absolutely loves them! I can't believe it took me so long to catch on to the raw bone frenzy. They are much cheaper and much healthier than anything else.
All I have to do is run to the grocery store and he's set. Tonight is trick class..... I'm excited to see what we are doing with the old sock and rope!

Feeling better

Brutus is feeling much better today. No more sneezing! He was his normal wound up self! I guess those $197 antibiotics I got him work well. Didn't get much training in the last 3 days because he couldn't be bothered. Tomorrow will be a fresh start and I'm sure he will be attending his Trick class. We're suppose to take some favorite toys and chews, and old sock, and a piece of rope to tie on the sock. Not quite sure what we are doing, but maybe using the sock and rope to open doors??? Hmmmm.... Guess we'll find out tomorrow. I'll have to get a good training session in tomorrow before class. Brutus has also given up on rollover. He knew this trick since he was a couple months old, and has completely refused to do it the last 3 days. Think I need to talk this over with his trainer, Silke.

Brutus's Grandfather

A picture of Brutus's Grandfather. With any luck, one day he will fill out nicely, just like Pappy!  You can definitely see the family resemblance.
