[Dailydrool] Basset training

[DDropp at aol.com]

Chiming in on basset training. Food works well for that.  I have  an 8 and 
13 year old basset, and getting the old one to go to bed is a problem,  but 
have found that luring him with treats does the trick.  It worked  so well 
that the other one now needs treats too.  I have created  monsters in that I 
now have to just about cover the steps with treats to get him  to go up.  It 
is a real obstacle course going up the stairs with them  waiting for the 
treats to be put on the stairs.  But they do go easier  now.  
 
I am glad that Molly is starting to walk better.  It takes time, as  
Charlie had problems like that, and in time he has gotten back the use of  his 
back legs, but I have to help him down the stairs so he does  not rehurt 
himself.  
 
Drool to all the others that need it.
