Hi everyone, I'm Bonny from Kentucky. I'm glad I found this group, it seems to be an active, supportive place for pet owners!
While I've grown up with outside dogs, I just bought my first dog in January. She's a Pembroke Welsh Corgi name Junebug, and I love her to death! I have learned so many things since she came to live with us and I have found a real passion for dogs (I liked them before, but now I'm crazy about them). I hope to enroll her in obedience and then start agility, so if there are any agility junkies here, I'd love to hear your ideas!
So far, I have been training Junebug using the dog psychology outlined by Ceasar Millan, and I have found it to be very effective. I am a big Ceasar fan, and recommend his method to all dog owners. Junebug already knows much of what she would learn in an obedience class because of this (proper heeling, sit, down, stay) and I feel like she is a true companion. She has even outgrown the naughty habit of making chase games out of being called to me after I began interacting with her as the pack leader:cool: .
On the silly side, she is a true clown, with a repetior of silly antics. But her favorite activities are playing fetch and swimming. She is fearless and very sharp, and recently I learned that she likes to sit up in the saddle with me as we ride the horses...it was as if she was born knowing that was her spot!
I will finish my M.S. in entomology in the next couple of months before moving to Long Island to start my new job. You can visit Junebug's webpage at www.myspace.com/junebugthecorgi. Have a great day and thanks for being here!
