Week 6

Star is still finding his place in the pack of dogs here at BorderSmith Kennels. He's young enough that the others tolerate him for the most part, but Star wants more and is angling for higher status. He has a few bumps on his nose that attest to his efforts. Time and Star's inner resolve will determine where he lands in the pecking order.

This week's lessons

1. Weather permitting
2. Leaving Alley
3. Pushing boundaries

My most recent review of The Real Time Canine comes from Michelle, a subscriber who says; "I am really enjoying the Star Chronicles." Thank you very much, Michelle. I am enjoying it as well.

Week 5

Star man comes when he is called most of the time now, does not put his feet on me ever and has given up running from me when he has something I don't want him to have. It's a good thing he will run up the dog ramp into the truck, because he has gotten so big!

This week's lessons:

Copraphagia (eating feces)
Tied out
How much is too much?

Subscribers have sent me pictures and some useful information. Thank you. I enjoy hearing from you.

Week 4

With the exception of play time, I treat Star much like the aged dogs. I speak to him as I do them, and even though he doesn't know what I mean yet, he learns from watching.

This week's lessons:

1. The keep away game
2. Load up
3. Play bites

I am gratified that The Real Time Canine has been so well received. Thank you to all who have subscribed and to those who have not yet, please join us.

Week 3

Star is finding his place in the pack. He's picked his favorite and tested some boundaries. Instinct took over and he showed his nerve when he became aware of the sheep.

This week's lessons:

1. Fitting in
2. Physical balance
3. Here, here
