Aahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGGGG!!!!! I'm flipping excited as hell!!!!!!!!!! HE'S MINEE!!!!!!!! Dad let me adopt him!!! I get to take him home tomorrow!!!! I'm going in right after school and learning about his clicker training, and introducing him to Jo!! He's SOOOOOOO sweet!! We took him out into this room, and he ran around like a little maniac! He look soo happy! He has super sharp nails..ah. Anyway! I'm so excited! I think I'm going to name him Zeke :D God, you ppl don't know nervous I was ALL day. I thought for sure he'd be gone, but he wasn't! He's been there for a month :[ Can you believe that? It almost seemed like he remembered me today..cause yesterday he looked sad, and today as soon as he saw me, he jumped up and wagged his tail. When I had to put him back, he jumped up and gave me a "hug" almost like saying "Don't leave me!! I don't want to go in there!!" And he wouldn't go in at 1st.

I had him outside, and took him up to the dog fence so I could see how he was with other dogs, and this lab ran over and he seemed great! I know Jo is good with other dogs too. Sorry for sounding like a maniac, I'm just so happy :D:D:D:D:D He's being clicker trained, what exactly is that? I know the basics, but anyone doing it with their dog???!??!?!?!

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congratulations!!!! :D Pictures??? We would love to see pictures of cute li'l Zeke!!! I am so happy for you!! that must have been such a relief that he was still there. What kind of breed is he again? :D :D :D

YEAH!!!! Congrats!

We have done some clicker training with both our girls. I saw there is a link posted to a thread about it, but if you have any more questions after reading it, I can try and help.

Can't wait to see pics!!!

yaaay! I am so happy for you! I can't wait to see pictures of the darling!;) :D

Congratulations on you new puppy !! Pictures? you do realize pictures are a requirement? :D

Thanks! I duno how I'll manage to get through school tomorrow..Ah...

I was looking at that clicker training thread, it helped! Thanks! But, I don't understand what you do when it's bad? If you click it before it gets a treat..won't it think clicking means treats??

It shouldn't Audrey. It's just "marking" the good behavior. Don't use the clicker for encouraging good behavior; then the pup will come to expect a treat with each clicker. It's only used to immediately signal to the dog the good behavior performed followed immediately by a treat. There is no reprimand used in clicker training. Inappropriate behavior or failure to respond to a command is just ignored. It is a bit complicated, but there are a lot of helpful sites. I think I posted some links in the thread I started a while ago. In case this wasn't the one Cincy's Mom was talking about, here it is. Good luck!

Congratulations, sooooooo exciting! Boyo, does Zeke have any idea what a good deal he's getting? A Pet Talk home, and a great big sisterdog, too!

Thanks! Yeah, I think I'm going to name him Zeke. I 1st heard the name on a show, Tour of duty, and I thought it was a neat name. My friend today suggested the name and made me remember it. I duno, I think it's a cute name for him :] I can't wait to show ya'll his pics tom :] He's so sweet
