Chumley has one bad habit. Well, at least one that we are trying to correct. At his prior home, he was allowed to drink out of the toilet bowl, so we are trying to discourage this behavior. Step one was leaving the lid down. Step two was dropping the lid on his head. This happened by accident as he had to work to reach the water level in the low flow toilet and he made quite the scene. Not surprisingly, he has not attempted to use his "secondary" water bowl since.
Tonight after it cooled off some, we walked around the neighborhood "making friends" with bushes, garbage cans, and neighbors. He has a habit of barking at people. We also practiced SIT and DOWN in this heavy distraction environment. He improved as the walk progressed.
Our Chumley was not a big fan of having his nails trimmed, but weekly sessions should ease the pain.
