What Canines Can Teach Us
Submitted by Jeff (trainer)
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a ride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it's in you best interest, practice obedience.
Let other know when they have invaded your territory.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
Be loyal.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently
Ten Peeves that Dogs Have About Humans
Submitted by pupPERTl
- Blaming your farts on me..... not funny... not funny at all !!!
Yelling at me for barking. I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG
Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?
Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose. Stop it!
Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.
The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo Hoooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.
Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then act ing surprised when I freak out every time we go back!
Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
Dog sweaters. Hello ??? Haven't you noticed the fur?
How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth. You're just jealous.
Now lay off me on some of these things. We both know who's boss here! You don't see me picking up your poop do you? EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY. A DOG ALWAYS OFFERS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. CATS HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT!
Education
i teach a class on the puppy lifestyle, so some call me a trainer, though i'm much more of a pup, myself! i am a strong proponent of education of the leather community. It is our legacy and is what we leave for those after us. i urge everyone; if you like talking to groups then teach, if you are more comfortable with one-on-one then mentor, if you aren't comfortable enough with your knowledge to be a teacher or mentor than learn from someone else so you can contribute and leave a legacy of your own. You don't have to be a Dom to educate. Remember, big brothers can bring up another just as well!
If you can attend events that have classes on the pup lifestyle, great! If not, try attending events where puppy mosh pits exist, you will learn a lot from watching or participating. If neither of these is an option, than you really should try to find a trainer or another local pup that is willing to bring you along. And finally, if none of this works for you, then you will have to rely on reading (there are only two books on the lifestyle as far as i know, at this time) or browsing web sites. No matter which route you decide, you can find links from this site that will get you started. Check out the PRODUCTS section for more information.
Currently, the main event for pup & trainer education is the International Puppy & Trainer Conference (IPTC). This event includes at classes on the pup lifestyle and a panel discussion, as well as puppy play time, also referred to as a mosh pit! For 2007, we included an "Adopt-A-Pup" charity event where people could pick a pup from the kennel to spend time with at the mosh pit for a donation. IPTC is held in conjunction with Beyond Vanilla which is a weekend long educational event with four tracts of classes plus the IPTC track running most of the weekend.
