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! Nami and Pepper are very lucky rats to have such a wonderful person, Abby, taking care of them. I wish all pets were so lucky! Abby has clicker trained them to do a bunch of tricks—some tricks are pretty lengthy or complex. The diving for peas trick is awesome. (Instead of a clicker, Abby, clucks her tongue to mark the behavior she wants from the rats.) 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. 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. 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. So cool!
