This is a positive reinforcement lesson and it is very funny. It was sent to me this week and I thought you all would enjoy it. Have a great weekend everyone! Sorry you have to go to youtube to watch it as for some reason I can’t embed it in this blog. But it is worth it.
Keep your thinking caps on and keep sending in your suggests for puppies, adolescents or any dog you are grooming to be a great family pet/awesome agility dog.
Today I am grateful for three great days with Greg and Laura Derrett (sorry about the snow Laura:().!

I saw this episode, it was hilarious!!
I LOVE Big Bang Theory and this episode was extremely funny to watch on the original airing and to watch again makes me giggle again.
There are so many things to teach a dog. I thought of a few more basics I teach mine.
Drop it
No / stop what you’re doing
Leave it
Get used to Dremel/ear cleaning/grooming
Up! – jump up into/onto something
Stop – licking butt or other body part. That is one dog sound I can’t take.
Go potty
Learn where the bathroom is and is not in the yard
Teach signal for them to tell me when nature calls
No counter surfing
Leave dish of food alone till I put it in front of dog
Get Off – furniture
No jumping on people
Wait – don’t push me out of the truck, back door, etc.
Ride in car
Stay in car without eating pieces of it while I do an errand
Play with dog toys – not things such as shoes
Boundaries for digging/not digging holes
Stay inside house when I open house door.
Go back – small house, one of us has to retreat for foot/paw traffic to flow
Need a thesaurus for behavior/agility commands.
OMG, BBT is the funniest show. Loved that clip, but my favorite is the one where Penny gives Sheldon the napkin from Leonard Nimoy. His reacation has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

I watched the episode when it came out and was going to post it to people but never got the time. It was SOOOO funny! My husband heard me laughing and was worried that I would use it on him (I have before but a clicker was too obvious for him and he resented it so now I just hide the OC under compliments).
The Sheldon character is amazing! One of my favourite shows.
Thats so funny – off to the shops now to buy chocs and try train husband and small child…… better get a very big box 🙂
that’s hilairous. i never watch this show but happened to be flipping through chanels and saw part of that episode when it aired. interesting ….
What a funny vid, I just loved watching it !
I posted that on Twitter last week and no one had ever heard of BBT which I love but I was appalled that they mixed up negative reinforcement and positive punishment!!!
I DVR The Big Bang Theory. I train my dog while watching DVR’d tv. I was C&T my dog while Sheldon was C&T Penny. My life is complete.
I seriously recommend this show. Oh gosh, soooo funny.

The link on your blog doesn’t seem to work. I’ve pasted a link to “Big Bang Theory”, which was sent to a list group I belong to. It’s really good.
I think that the link doesn’t work!
