Thank you, Carlyn!

And, I am pretty sure you can guess who taught us to pop Bruno when he does something bad. 😉

Anyway, switching to positive reinforcement, because:
a. I don’t want my dog to fear me, I want him to respect me and see me as a leader who teaches through “kindness” (read “yumminess”).
b. I really want him to learn these things, like not eating any and everything off the ground, and also I really want him to learn to focus around distractions (super hard for him at the moment, especially because he has so much terrier energy).

Anyway, hope your foot is better! Sounds like it went through a lot! 🙁
As of yesterday, I am able to sit in my chair on the computer again, and today I will try sitting in the car. It is crazy what pain it was and how immobile it made me to pinch my sciatic nerve…
