In The Dog House
Blue is starting the New Year in the dog house.
She has been a very, very, very naughty girl.
Naughtier than usual.
Blue is actually a very good dog.
She has learned that she’s not allowed to go into the garbage, or counter surf, or chew socks.
Well, let me clarify that.
She knows she’s not allowed to do those things when people are around.
Lately she has been strategically doing all the naughty things when no one is in the room.
If she doesn’t hear NO, then it’s OK for her to do it.
Right?
Yeah, nah, that’s not going to work for me.
Blue is now in the dog house.
She’s confined to a leash.
Even indoors.
For a week.
Years ago, we had a dog who misbehaved, and a trainer suggested this strategy.
It worked for Wrigley back in the day.
Perhaps it will work for Blue.
Hopefully we can reset her back to factory standards.
Maybe she’ll work her way out of the dog house.
Good girl, Blue, good girl.
