I once had hopes Brute might be a therapy dog, but his reactivity makes it impractical - wheelchairs and powerchairs are some of the toughest things for him to deal with! So much for that dream, eh? I can see how your hounds would make wonderful therapy dogs though - such gentle creatures they are! I had no idea this was APDT train your dog month - guess my post had perfect timing too!<br /><br />Michelle, Brutus & CarmenBRUTUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876504197398697370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-16916383622111595962011-01-09T07:42:04.438-06:002011-01-09T07:42:04.438-06:00I couldn't agree more.

Sometime, after a lot of training, things become so simple - very little talking required as you do things together. <br /><br />I love activities where there's give and take on both sides. I learned that most in canine search and rescue since my dog was the true "searcher" in the pair of us. But, even in hiking, K "covers my back" a lot. If I get obsesses with checking something out, I turn around and see her standing guard behind my back. Believe it or not, I even caught R doing this guard behavior during a recent bike ride!<br /><br />In your case, I'm guessing that the therapy dog work also makes a big difference to the two of you.<br /><br />But, like you, I also think that some dogs and people were simply made for each other. You and Bunny. Me and K. We're pretty lucky!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-91011679869863339872011-01-09T03:17:11.645-06:002011-01-09T03:17:11.645-06:00We think we have different bonds with each dog a l...We think we have different bonds with each dog a lot like we had with the kids!<br />They are both very different and need us in different ways.<br />We love them both to bits!<br />xxxMartha https://www.blogger.com/profile/14339058720002383045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-84394920309777027822011-01-09T00:02:09.461-06:002011-01-09T00:02:09.461-06:00A bunnie bond was built on obedience and skool?

I'm so happy I do a lot of training with Marge - you're right, it does help me read and understand her better, and I think it helps her to know what it is exactly I want or need.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146649374510678844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-36281081520644891362011-01-08T22:14:52.391-06:002011-01-08T22:14:52.391-06:00I know you two have a very special bond!

I agree that going through training classes together is often part of building a strong bond. it's where many people first learn about two-way communication with their dogs.<br /><br />But I do think there is chemistry or something else that just happens with certain dogs. My first childhood dog was so precious to me that I still weep thinking of him 40 years later.
