First day of school
|
|
|
The night before his first day of
school, Tyler woke up Rusty in the middle of the night
making
short dog yelps. Rusty found Tyler in the living room trying to open
the sliding glass door.
Rusty opened it. "Go poop!" Tyler ran out on the deck and waited.
Rusty closed the door but Tyler was waiting for Rusty. He did not
run down to poop. So Rusty opened the door and Tyler dashed back
inside.
Confused, Rusty went back to bed.
The next morning this is what he found
Tyler had taken Rusty's old shoes from the trash (Rusty bought new
ones that week) and placed them on the spot where Rusty stood to
open the door.
Then Tyler pooped to show that he had wanted Rusty to walk him out
to potty.
Rusty was amazed at the obvious message written by the young pup.
"Dad! I tried to open the door but couldn't - then you did but you
didn't walk out - so I had to do it inside but put your old shoes
there so you'd understand what I had needed you to do."

Tyler visited Big Basin Dog Training
which specialized in the German sports dog training called shutzhund.
The owner, Gary, was very nice to Tyler and called him a cute puppy.
|
|
|
Tyler was very impressed with the
credentials of Big Basin. Attending school there was the best one
his master could find.
|
|
|
Tyler wanted to be a great dog when he
grew up, and knew that choosing the right school to start off would
make all the difference in life.
|
|
|
On his first day of class Tyler was
drawn to a man on the bleachers so he walked up to him to say hello.
That man was with a woman who had a very well trained dog.
|
|
|
In Tyler's class was a doberman, and a
cute young labrador.
|
|
|
Tyler was happy to learn that part of
the purpose of the class was to socialize with other dogs.
"Wow!"
he thought to himself.
"This is a fun school!"

Sniff?
Sniff?
Sniff!
Sniff!
Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff!
"Wow! Doberman smells great" thought Tyler.
"Wow! Tyler smells great" thought Doberman.

Tyler enjoyed his first day of school.
|
|
|
The teacher had a full grown shutzhund
(German for sports dog) that was perfectly trained.
Tyler spun in circles, then barked when he saw what this dog could
do! After the demonstration the big male German Shepherd actually
came over to sit by Tyler.
Tyler was star struck.
|
|
|
The big shutzhund liked Tyler!
|
|
|
It was like they were playmates from
the start.

The two shepherds wrestled and rolled
in the grass together obviously enjoying each other's company.
|
|
|
Tyler was having the best time in his
life. The big adult was totally gentle with him!

Wonder Dog was so excited he went to
the tree line and shot out a powerful stream of urine to mark his
first successful day of school.
|
|
|
Soon enough class was over and he
went home
with his master, Rusty.
Tyler was so tuckered out from all that excitement that he fell
asleep with his paws holding Rusty's feet.
Later in the afternoon Rusty took Tyler to The Woodward Reservoir.
He attached a 30' lunge line to his collar. A nice helpful man named
Kenny carried Tyler into the lake to let him swim.
Amazingly the wonder dog swam perfectly, as if he had lessons in a
previous life time. He ran up the shore to Rusty and shook of his
thick black coat of fur.
They went home where Tyler danced about playing with his toys. This
had been the greatest ever day of his dog life.
