Opal's been doing really well with Niko. She just wants to play. He scratched her when she was standing near him minding her own business. Bad Niko!
I think Tom could use some remedial sessions. He went after Niko and then was difficult to catch, growling at Mother when she touched his back.

We had just won first for the obstacle course at school.
Adventures and thoughts playing, loving, training, and living with two dogs. Tom is an All American who looks most like a Swedish Lapphund. He likes rolling in things, the deader the better, as well as treats and squeaky toys and reserved affection. Opal is a Greyhound who is very smiley and likes people.

Of course I always want to take Niko's side and be like, "Good Niko. Way to show the dog who is boss!" Good to see you. Impressive work with the dogs.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure how I feel about Niko going at the dogs for no good reason. It doesn't seem fair that he can and they can't, but if it helps him maintain status then that'd be good.
