Dragging it this way is a big time side-ass pump!
*Copied from an article I got the idea from for the lunges: “particularly effective when you avoid pausing at the half-step point when both feet are together and you’re in a standing position. Many will do this to regain balance, make their quads stop burning, and take a rest. Instead, do full strides by taking the trailing foot and bringing it forward into the next, long step before lunging down.”
Yes, those monster walk lunges are no joke!
My sister found this shirt at walmart for me! She though it said Brute, but I think it says Brite! Either way I got it on and its most JAZZY! HA HA!
My Girl looking Beautiful and smiling on the rug!
I am doing an experiment today. I wanted to see how the sedation drugs she got for vet visits effect her. My goal was to get her to the new doggie wash station at my apartment complex but I don’t think that is going to pan out… My girl is terrified of the tub! And now she is terrified and drunk! I can’t get myself to do that to her and force it, I can’t break her trust! It not worth it!
Some dogs you can get away with and almost you need to be at times dominant and forceful to make them comply with things—but heavy handedness stuff on a girl with her temperament will shut her down, its better to give her confidence vs forcing her to do stuff.
With my past dogs Nigel and Mossimo the Cane Corso’s you had to be firm and direct. Malibu doesn’t need that and that style of communication with her will be damaging, she I believe needs security from her person.
So she will remain a dusty girl and we’ll just get more dirty tomorrow out on the trail. I am going to now start a process of seeing if I can train her to jump into my own bath tub willingly like Mossi did.
Peanut butter splots here and there leading to the tub, and maybe in a few months she’ll get the idea that the tub is not a scary slippery place! Or at least she’ll know its a place that has peanutbutter. I mentioned before that when I first got her she refused to eat it, the fact that her hair is down enough that she will is a sign of trust. :D!
So today she will just sleep off her trazadone and gabapentin. I did learn that she will take pills in peanutbutter so it was not a total loss. She is smart enough that I would have thought she’d pick them out of the pb but she didn’t! That’s a good thing to know.
