1. Stopping your dog – what do you prefer? On their feet? On their belly? Some combination?<\/strong>
\n2. At what point do you start teaching this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think this is a herding thing. I can’t think of anything where I have a stop\/halt command in a training situation. Dylan stops on his contacts but there isn’t a seperate command for it, and I’ve never trained the Table since we never see it. Huh.<\/p>\n

3. Do you have a favorite dog? I won’t tell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t lie. Kim is my favourite. I wish I had words to express further, but I don’t. I could write pages about her and still never get close to what makes her extraordinary to me.<\/p>\n

4. What is the #1 thing a dog can do to push your buttons?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lots of things. Dylan’s neuroticism. Latest phrase of exasperation was “Dylan, the balloon isn’t going to suddenly float down from the ceiling and eat you, you don’t have to watch it for 3 hours without blinking oh god please look at something else!” Mollie’s need to not just share the sofa but the same cushion. Kim’s incessant barking. I mean properly constant monotone bark-bark-bark when she starts because she thinks she might have heard something through the fogged up parts of her ears and then forgets why she’s barking and can’t stop. (Old dogs suck). Rio doesn’t have anything specifically annoying yet, although it’s pretty irritating when she starts alarm barking at my reflection in the window. It’s not someone outside Ree, it’s me! I’m behind you, waving!<\/p>\n

5. Brrrrr… it’s winter. What is your favorite soup recipe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why are there so many cooking and herding questions on this thing?! I do neither of those things! (I love Carrot or Tomato or Potato soup. Delicious.)<\/p>\n
