New Comer

New happenings while I took a long blog brake is we have a new comer :) Brought this pretty German shepherd mix home to foster and would like to keep her. We shall see if it is meant to be. One problem we have had to deal with is that she has learned to jump the fence. So we are working on different ways to keep her from doing that. Another thing is she does jump up on you so working on stopping her from doing that. I have taught her to sit and lay down. We are going to need to work on the stay. Another thing I want to teach her right now is to walk beside me when we go for walks.
So training goals the rest of this month are : Stay, Heel, and down.
Frosty had a long brake from training and it is time to get back to it. This months goal is to "bring it". Things she already knows is sit, stay, lay down, roll over and most important he reminds me to check his buds blood sugar. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Simply Superb Dogs :)

Are You There

We are still here :) It has been a while since I posted! Things are going good with our Frosty. Things we were working on he has now gotten better and Frosty continues to stick by my little guys side.
One of the issues Frosty had before is that he would guard my little guys food. Would make sure everyone would "leave it" (even empty plates at times) but would jump at the chance to NOT "leave it" himself like if my little guy would walk away from his food. Now he does so much better in that area. I often can walk up to my son when he has his plate and Frosty doesn't act all possessive of his food or plate. He still has his days but not nearly as much.
Frosty continues to be a superb dog as he sticks by my now 7 year old son who has T1 diabetes. Where ever my son is he is usually close by. In fact when my son is not there, Frosty will whine for him. This past summer we went on a vacation without Frosty. Frosty stayed home with my husband. He whined and whined for my little guy. He missed his bud.
Here is a picture of Frosty looking for his best bud. I had come home without my little guy which was unusual. He was visiting some friends. Frosty just kept looking and waiting for his bud to come through the door. Frosty was disappointed. LOL
Hope you enjoyed my update and hope to share many more posts as I get back to sharing and training. Thanks for stopping by Simply Superb Dog :)
