[Dailydrool] Doggie day care & Baileys

[Marsdoxy2 at aol.com]

I took my two Bassets through puppy classes and then obedience  and the 
trainer I have is excellent, he is extensively trained in obedience,  search and 
rescue and tracking , he actually worked for two doggie day care  facilities  
one in California and another one here in Northwest Ohio. he  doesn't really 
recommend them. his personal opinion is this , it is  great  for the dogs to have 
play time, but much too often, there are too many dogs and  not enough staff 
to watch them. the majority of the staff have no training in  dog handling and 
they don't have a clue as to  what they are doing,  in other words, they are 
NOT watching the dogs.
 
Now , onto the Baileys,  I will have to try that !  I drink lots  of coffee 
and that sounds like  something I might like,  Actually , I  only use to drink 
an occasional glass of wine  during the holiday season,  that was when I had 
two passive  companions, Lucy my Basset and Fergie my  miniature dachshund,  
NOW, I have two Young Bassets and since I  just recently  acquired ANNIE  who is 
7 months old today,  I  drink  a large bottle of wine every week !!!!!  some 
times if we are  having a BAD week, I have to crack open a second bottle . I 
can just about  imagine what my recycle trash man that I have had for the last 
10 years must  think ?????
 
What did you say to get to spray on the furniture so they don't chew it  ???? 
 Annie has chewed the corners  off of three end tables ! and both  my 
ottomans.  literally ripped apart every toy  we  have   ( poor Maggie )  and has torn 
the stuffing  out of  two doggie beds, while I am cleaning up one mess she 
runs and gets into  something else. She is getting plenty of exercise, running 
around the yard, and  I take them both for two walks every day  , Plus I run 
her through her  dog training exercises and she still is  a turd head !!!!  If I 
didn't  love her so much,  I could hate her, she is that BAD !!!!  she is why 
 I drink wine !!!!  Annie  is my first chewer and I am going crazy !  She is 
also a big bully and is constantly  knocking poor Maggie down to the  ground, 
every time you look at her , she is  either chewing something  or  sitting and 
pinning Maggie to the ground.
when I am outside with them, I will allow Maggie to run free and I tether  
Annie to a cable lead on my clothes line so she can still run, but she can't get 
 to Maggie.  any suggestions ??????    HELP !   she  is in OBEDIENCE classes. 
which she does great in, like a little  angle   he he he   but she  is  like 
Dr. Jackle  and Mr Hyde.
