Catching Up
Its been quite some time since Ive been to my blog to discuss Service Dog stuff, and Ive missed it. Theres just been a lot going on lately, and a break was much needed. I think its done all of us some good.
I would like to mention some things about the comments Ive received on the blog, since Ive been on a break.
I have gotten a lot of comments about my discussions of pit bull type dogs and their use as Service Dogs. What Ive found, mostly, from reading through the comments, is that most of those who disagree with my position, are, for the most part, extremely vulgar, and very rude. I dont know why that is, but I can guess.
Its okay, I think, to disagree on someones position, where they stand on an issue, but it can be done with dignity.
Nevertheless, there are other places to do research on the facts about pit bull type dogs….This blog is not the only source of information.
I could post some of the comments I received as "feedback" but I wont bother the time.
So in catching up with where the blog left off about Vinnys training, and those topics which surround it. I think Ill dedicate the next entry to "Feelings."
Not the feelings we have toward and about our dogs, but the feelings they have toward and about us.
If you have some feedback on the topic of "Feelings," I encourage you to please share with comments. I hope to be able to publish them this time.
A Service Dog is a dog that can and does perform certain tasks in order to assist its disabled handler.

I realize these photos are little outdated, and I do have some newer ones. I just need to get them uploaded to the Mac. Vinnys grown up so much and hes accomplished much as well. Although were currently taking a break from training classes, Vinny has accomplished earning his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate, which as Ive stated before,must be accomplished before moving on to Assistance Classes, where the dog begins learning its assistance tasks.
Vinny is definitely ahead of the game!
Vinny already knows and continues to practice his assistance tasks, which he does very well. Im very proud of him. After all, hes not even two years old yet. Hes very smart, and learns very quickly. Vinny and I have built quite a bond together now, and its not easy to do without sometimes feeling badly about having to leave Jade out. That doesnt mean when we go out to walk, or exercise, but when Vinny and I are working together, it just cant be helped. I doubt Jade understands any of this, although I do want to give her credit for being so smart, shes still a dog. Im not sure she understands exactly whats going on, but I do know for certain that dogs have feelings. They do feel jealousy, I can attest to that!
When Im working with Vinny on his tasks, or just basic obedience (which Vinny seems to have more trouble with), Jade is obviously wanting to get in on the action. Shell jump in and do what I tell Vinny to do, in hopes of a few treats and some love. Its when I take Vinny out to work, or to practice some tasks in public, thats when I see it on Jades face….the "Why arent you taking me?" look. OUCH! Like I said, I dont know if dogs reason like that, all I know is that I do, and thats the look I see on Jades face, when I walk out the door with Vinny.
There really is a lot to catch up on, and theres no way Ill get to it all at once.
Its gonna take some time, so please be patient.

In fact, I would encourage you ALL to do some research on the FACTS about pit bull type dogs….the FACTS CANNOT BE DISPUTED. Theres no arguing with the FACTS.
But tonight, I stay off that topic and have attempted to at least catch up some from where Id left off, in regards to Vinnys training. Because really, this blog is about service dogs…..its not meant to be a place for the fans of fighting breed dogs to come to bash anyone, or to be vulgar, rude and disrespectful. I could post some of the comments I received as "feedback" but I wont bother the time.
