I feel bad for dogs with empty poop bags tied to their collars like big bowties. That would be like our wearing toilet paper on our heads.Kari Neumeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180248845656504546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-13954035960380006812015-03-03T10:19:15.580-07:002015-03-03T10:19:15.580-07:00This is a great toolkit you've put together. ...This is a great toolkit you've put together.

I'm definitely buying another one, but a better quality one for sure. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515659259908616472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-81700264290385944332015-03-02T16:50:08.428-07:002015-03-02T16:50:08.428-07:00It is so hard to get a grasp on everything with on...It is so hard to get a grasp on everything with only two hands - I know the feeling.

It is tough juggling everything sometimes, but it's definitely worth it. I just look for walking clothing that has plenty of pockets. My only problem is that I invariably forget to bring something with me! I've been meaning to add a squeaky toy to my collection, for a distraction, but haven't remembered to bring it yet.<br />Jan, Wag 'n Woof Petsjank1961https://www.blogger.com/profile/02300333186503144220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-82253193630407987822015-03-02T13:36:27.514-07:002015-03-02T13:36:27.514-07:00I choose dorkiness too.

Looking at my dog's happy faces as they raced back to me with my quiet recall I can't imagine ever using anything other than PR. <br /><br />On a side note... I completely forgot about this hop and didn't write a post. :( I really need to get better at organizing stuff and keeping a calendar of all the hops.zoepheedogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959397251791559890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-2424206984960078752015-03-02T10:15:07.203-07:002015-03-02T10:15:07.203-07:00I love this!

I can tell everyone we pass thinks I am a lunatic for cheering on my mostly quiet corgi (hey, if I clicked that split second of silence- he gets praised!) A few weeks ago we were walking and I had to make a lot of stops to remind Huxley to not yank me into each yard he wished to mark. The person walking the lab at what started as a block behind me and closed into way less, was noticeably irritated by me stalls to click and treat... as the poor lab got yanked by it's prong collar around us... :( <br />I am looking forward to playing the Teach Your Dog Something New In Ten Minutes Game this month and you have all the tools laid out here for sure successes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14410993180658480326noreply@blogger.com
