Obedience Classes are for Humans, Not Dogs….Part 2
We’ve had an exciting weekend. Michele was taking care of her mother-in-law’s dogs.
There were two dogs — Penny the sheltie and Copper the cairn terrier. I don’t really like Copper. He told me my business idea was stupid. (I want to get the word out about obedience classes being for the human rather then the dog, because then more dogs would bring their humans.) But, of course, he didn’t really understand what obedience was.
“My owner only goes to obedience once a year, but she doesn’t take us,” Copper said. “She says it’s something to do with female problems.”
“That’s an ob/gyn,” Maddie said, rolling her eyes. “A doctor. Like a vet except for women.”
Copper harrumphed and went to go sit in his kennel.
But Penny liked my idea. “I would love to go to obedience,” she said. “I get bored hanging around the house all day. I like going out and doing things. And if I can train my owner while I’m at it, all the better.”
“So what would you need to know to get your owner to obedience classes?” I asked.
“Well,” Penny thought. “I guess I’d want to make sure it really was for people. And what I should do to get my owner to go. And what I should expect when I get there. Things like that.”
Hmmm. That sounds like a good start.
Wuff,
Nick, the border collie
