Today Lincoln the Pit Bull spent the day at Pop-Pop’s hair-salon and I began teaching my puppy to leave it.
Lincoln at the Hair-Salon
Lincoln’s Daily Diary Friday December 23, 2011
Lincoln is really starting to shine, this pup is the center of attention everywhere he goes and he makes no bones about loving every second of it.
Today at the shop he greeted everyone who came in and even made some great new friends, people who otherwise wouldn’t have dared come near a mean Pit Bull had they known the little devil was waiting for them! The nice ladies got their hair and nails done all fancy biding their time playing with Lincoln or trying to coax him out of his doggy bed and into their arms. Heck he even got daddy the attention of some really cute girlies today but that is just icing on the cake!
Lincoln slept a lot at the shop but he was sure to get up when the door opened for a new customer!
After work we came home and hung out, getting some much needed rest for daddy.
We got some rest and I began teaching my puppy to leave it; where I put a treat on the ground in front of Lincoln the Pit Bull yet I don’t allow him to get to it. I keep my hand over the treat until Lincoln stops pawing at it.
As soon as he backs off the treat I click the clicker and allow him to have the treat saying “Good leave it”. We did that a few times and then ended the training session on a great “Come>Sit>Paw”!
I teach this command because it will help me to make sure Lincoln doesn’t get into things that are bad for him or not meant for his chewing pleasures! It comes in handy all the time so it is a great tool to have at my disposal. I got to say this pup comes from great stock because I have never seen a dog learn as quickly as he is, I am really lucky to have him.
