News, Advice and Resources for Thoughtful Pet People
This made me smile!  Shiva was on day 4 of an agility show and was apparently totally full of beans on the last day.  She had her own ideas on how the course should be run that day.  I love that her person could laugh at Shiva’s full-on crazy and that the judge was amused too.  Good people, good dog!

I LOVE this! Â Nami and Pepper are very lucky rats to have such a wonderful person, Abby, taking care of them. Â I wish all pets were so lucky! Â Abby has clicker trained them to do a bunch of tricks—some tricks are pretty lengthy or complex. Â The diving for peas trick is awesome. Â (Instead of a clicker, Abby, clucks her tongue to mark the behavior she wants from the rats.) Â I also love Abby’s DIY props for the different tricks—cute and clever.
Abby and her rats’ relationship is so much richer because of this training. Â Her rats have learned to pay closer attention to her and they have much more interesting & stimulating lives than if they just sat in a cage all the time. Â And I’m sure Abby has a deeper understanding of her rats since she’s had to think about what they’re capable of and how to communicate with them. Â So cool!
