huski Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Today is four years since my special (or is that thpethal?) little beagle was born. She has been the most challenging dog I've ever owned but it's been worth it for how much I've learnt about dogs and for the relationship we have now. I remember bringing her home expecting to have a cuddly little beagle baby and thinking, after training a Siberian Husky, how hard can a beagle be?? My little eight week old monster wanted nothing to do with me, she didn't want to be picked up or cuddled, didn't want to sit with us, just wanted to go off and do her own thing. She used to bark at us for our food, would steal it off our plates as we were eating it, and was so challenging to live with I worried I'd never bond with her. I remember leaving the first night of obedience school in tears because my five month old puppy was the naughtiest dog on the field; she would growl at me if I tried to move her into heel position, wanted nothing to do with me, pulled on the leash and barked at all the other dogs. Now she loves to work and we often get asked to do demos at club for new members. Poor Daisy had to put up with me using a myriad of training methods that failed one after the other before finally finding the right one for us, and she gives me everything she can whenever I ask. She's a very special dog, and I am so thankful for owning her. The first photo I ever saw of Daisy: Her first day home: Dressed up as Super Beagle! With her first obedience trophy She looks less than impressed because she blew a 91 and a first place at the last minute on her down stay But still came in 3rd. With me Happy birthday to my Evil Beagle! Edited October 5, 2010 by huski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
