Boyfriend to Sadie: "Do you want to go for a walk?"
Sadie: "Uhh.. Well, we went to the vet, Home Depot, farm and fleet, and menards today. Then we met a new dog, played nap/ hide and seek (in the car trunk... x2), had some ribeye for a treat, and ran in the grass for four hours. Nope. I'm done for the day.
We had always thought Sadie Bug would be best in a home with a fence so she can run around without running away. Well... the most amazing news is we don't think that's true anymore! Over the last week, my boyfriend has been working with Sadie with an electric collar. I know, I know, not everyone agrees with them, but when used properly, they can be great training tools! Sadie spent a short night learning how the collar works: she gets a funny buzz feeling when she gets too far or goes the wrong way, and when she returns, the buzz stops. She learned in ONE NIGHT how to stay in the yard. Even with people and other dogs walking past the house, Sadie Bug has stayed in the front yard! She had such a busy day today exploring the yard on her own for hours as dad worked in the yard :)
