Up with hope... Up with dope!


Finally had a private session with the dog trainer last week, of course it happened to be at 10am, coinciding perfectly with Charlie's morning naptime, thus rendering him drowsy and cute and leaving our protests of aggressive behavior and nipping seeming just silly if even made up. Caryl, the trainer spoke to us at length and gave us a few tips on dealing with aformentioned non-visible behavior, which of course when applied during awake periods of playful aggression are all but useless. One tip, however, was more than well-received by both owner and pup: doggie dope.

Doggie dope, otherwise known as Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Dog Food Rolls, is literally the canine equivalent of the greatest thing since sliced bread. This doggie smack can be sliced, crumbled or shredded to be added to food or more importantly used as a tasty treat, especially handy as a training aide. There is nothing Charlie wouldn't do for a fix!
