The Monster - Graduates!

Prior to becoming aware of my pending role as a father, we decided to get ourselves a puppy. Why a puppy? Well cause, well actually I really don't know. The decision was rash and rushed and well all too much fun. We decided that based on thier temperment to go with a boxer. This is the monster acouple of weeks after we got her.

So once we found out that we were expecting a nother addition to our family we realized that in order for this to work the monster would need to get an edumacation on her place and role in our family and what behavior was deemed acceptable. So, we scoured the internet, source of all useless facts, for the appropriate training facility to aid us in tempering the enthusiasm of this little one. We decided on McMann Pro Dog Trainers after hearing some glowing reviews from fellow dog owners with very obediant dogs. In a word this experiance was "no fun". Let me explain. Boxer's aren't known for being well behaved dogs, they are known for having a good heart, strong spirit and a humorous disposition. That and dog training isn't really the training of the dog but rather of the dog's handler! So essentially the monster gets stuffed full of treats and i get the beats! She passed Head Start, but really if you pay the dues and show up on grad night you pass so no biggy. We enrolled her in Grade 1, and after 9 weeks of intensive training of me, somehow we managed to pass with flying colours...now if only she would behave in real life!
