A car door closing 2 doors down would cause her to wake up the whole house at night. It does get better. The more love and consistency you provide will only do wonders for Marge. Penny is now used to city living.<br />Love Ruby & PennyRuby and Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455922290323437909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-12551184922260228842009-10-20T02:40:07.253-04:002009-10-20T02:40:07.253-04:00Take a deep breath and just ♥ Marge.

What tasks you have, but such skills and... eventually... great success. Zoomies are wonderful!!! So glad to hear how well things are going. If Sammie and I go for walks where she has to be on a leash, I always use a flexi. It works wonders for her and for me heheheee!<br />Hugs xo<br />Sammie and momGolden Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810994485527475133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-79642511493154850782009-10-19T16:18:12.199-04:002009-10-19T16:18:12.199-04:00You may be on to something there.

It was encouraging this weekend to see dogs with fears and phobias doing so well in obedience. I, too, like the security factor of not having them off-leash outdoors.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100381901254968075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-6842026299579701852009-10-19T15:50:39.915-04:002009-10-19T15:50:39.915-04:00Hi Marge, I love your blog and all the pics!!!

What a great motion shot!<br /><br />You know, someone once pointed out to me that for every reaction (on my part) there is an equal and opposite reaction (on my dog's part). Wonder where they got that line? Lol! But the point was made. When I decided Cooper might react to something, he did. Finally I stopped caring about Cooper's "reacting" and *voila* he doesn't react much anymore! Granted, different dogs, wayyyyyyy different experiences, and different ages. But it is a lovely thing to realize, isn't it?<br /><br />You do such a great job with Marge! Wish I had your consistency (and energy)!<br /><br />-CCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175960074150834058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-86723160793357144812009-10-16T21:22:22.022-04:002009-10-16T21:22:22.022-04:00Hi Marge,
