Safest kid in the world

If you look up “happiest Labrador ever” in the dictionary I’m pretty sure Custard would appear.

Why would you assume?

Assume what?

That it was me.

I’m not assuming anything. I WATCHED you pull full clumps of grass out of the lawn and fling them in the air and then dig in the hole you just created!

Could have been anyone.

It was not. I watched you from the kitchen window.

Could have been another golden.

You’re the only golden I HAVE.

Oh yeah.

It’s always really amazing to see how the friendships in the crew develop as they grow and shift. Custards BFF has always been Andy, but as Kipper has grown up they have become thick as thieves, and Andy and Glimpse have become great friends. Kettle and Cabbage now have daily wrestling matches and Castle loves the littles. Some staples never change, like Chimney and Story, but I love watching the dynamics shift as the youngsters grow and suddenly become large enough and more capable enough to play.

Your dog owes you nothing. Not a thing.

The decision for him to be in your life wasn’t his, it was yours. He doesn’t owe you anything. If you look at your dog as owing you something in return for your attention, food, medical care etc, then that’s the first problem we have to tackle before we can even begin true training together.

Your dog doesn’t owe you “obedience” he doesn’t owe you “respect” he doesn’t owe you “good behavior” simply because he gets to share the same space and life with you. If you want that kind of relationship and behavior; that’s on you to create, not him.

YOU owe your dog. You owe it to him to understand his history, his development and his ancestors. You owe it to him to learn about his needs, his characteristics and his individual personality. You owe it to him to become educated on how he communicates with you, his body language and train him in a way he understands and enjoys and doesn’t cut corners just because it’s easier on YOU. You owe it to him to protect him and keep him safe. You owe it to him to modify YOUR environment to help him be successful.

Dogs are a privilege. WE created THEM. We’ve done them so many injustices and yet they still go to war with us, herd our livestock, protect us, find people for us, assist us devotedly, meet us at the door wagging their tails and comfort us when we are down. The tasks they do for us go above and beyond any other partnership between species imaginable, so you have to be willing to do your part too.

Your dog owes you nothing. You owe your dog. Let’s get to work to make a great team.
