こんにちは(*^O^*) (Greeting)

散歩中に出会ったワンちゃん達と、挨拶するエリーです。

この飼い主さんも ドッグトレーナーとの事でした。

『相手は　洋服を着てるし、私の黒が一際黒く見えちゃいませんかね？　えっ？　影かと思っただって！？　ガッビーン』（エリー曰く）
ちょいと洋服を着てみたくなったかも？？？　　　　

While walking on a spiting day in Togawa Park, we met two loving dogs.

'Do I have to wear something?' (Said Ellie, feeling as if she is naked.)

楽チン足拭き (Easy way for wiping・・・)

トリック(芸)の、’スピン（回れ）’や’おて、おかわり’を覚えさせると 濡れた足を拭く時に便利です。

You can ask your pooch to do some tricks like ''spin'' or ''paw'' and ''the other one'', when you want to wipe their wet or dirty paws with a towel.







お腹を拭く時には、’バキュ～ン’で 死んだ振りをさせてる間に 拭けちゃいますよ。　プラス、お腹などを触り　何かおかしな所がないか、チェックしましょう。早期発見にも是非 ＼(^-^)／

I am positive to say that it is easy to wipe your dog's abdoman with a towel by asking him to be ''dead-dog''. I advise you to run your hands on his abdoman and find if there is somthing wrong. Early detection is best.




背中もね。


一通り終わるまで　動かない２匹。

They do not move until I say 'O.K.'.




はい、きれいになりました(^_-)=☆

'Now, we are beautiful?'(^_-)=☆

***お利口に出来た時は、十分褒める事を忘れずに。

*** Do not forget to give your pooch treats or praise for being good.

アメリカでのトレーナー，ビーとそのワンちゃん達 (Bea and her buddies)

My trainer, Bea, of Carifornia and her buddies.
I met Meg Kaneko two years ago in 2007, soon after she　came to America to learn more about dog training.

I now　consider Meg a good friend. Meg loves her dogs and loves learning as much as she　can about training dogs. Meg's knowledge of dogs is　amazingly good, and　her knowledge has imporved in the last two years. I have　thoroughly enjoyed working with Meg in Obedience, Rally,　and Tracking. She is a good student and works very hard to　do what I suggest. She has been a model student.

I know　that Meg will be very successful with training others to　understand　how totrain their dogs with positive reinforcement.　There are many "tools" that Meg has up her sleeve to use　for the variety of different personalities of people and　dogs to help them to accomplish their goals for having　Good Canine Companions, as well as having Well Trained　dogs that can compete for JKC. Not everyone can be a "good" trainer and a "fair"trainer and keep their dog's best interest at heart. She will help handlers to be patient and to learn to be　the "leader" of the pack. She understands - "Don't be mean　to your dog, but MEAN what you say!
Their life depends on it".

雨の日に (On a rainy day)

On a rainy day, if dogs feel bored, why not give them a fun thing like 'Hide-and -seek'?

First of all, let your dog sniff a thing and ask them to sit and wait. Next, hide the thing in the spot you decided after walking around house touching some places with the thing.


The game starts with your command 'Find it.'


'I can smell the treat in this blanket.'(Leo)
'Where, where!?'(Ellie)


'It is a bit hard to find the treat today.'(Ellie)
'Mum wants us to take a long time for keeping our brain busy, doesn't she?.'(Leo)


'Nearly! You can find it soon.'(Said mum)
'Did you find it? Then, I can eat it, too.'(Ellie)
'That's why you always follow me!?'(Leo)


'We found it!'(Leo & Ellie) It is on Leo's cage.


'Now, help yourself to the treat.'(Mum)




(The photoes do not show clear and beautiful as taken by a cell phone.Sorry about it.)

Now, enjoy this game with your buddies.

何処に 顔を！？ (where is your face on?)

エリーってば、座椅子に座らせて貰えないからって そんな事・・・。 (-。-;)

As she is not allowed to sit on any furniture for human, Ellie decided to put her face on a low sofa.

Oh dear...!

'My mum cannot say anything about this behavior.'(Ellie spoke to herself.)

ご近所さん (Our neighbors)

ここの近所は、犬好きな方が多いです。

近所の散歩の後、暑くてへたばりそうなエリーを知ってか知らぬか、男の子が手で水を持って来てくれました。
「有り難う♪」（エリー曰く）

Almost every one in my neighborhood like dogs.

I took Ellie for a walk around neighborhood this morning. With knowing or not that the boy found Ellie was thirsty due to the hot weather, he scooped up water in a bucket with his hands and gave Ellie.

''What a sweet of you.''(Said Ellie)



レオとエリーを可愛がってくれる家族です。
子供達は、初めレオとエリーに慣れてなくて、近づいては逃げてましたが、優しい犬達と分かると、今度は触る事が大好きになりました。嬉しいですね。

This is a family who loves Leo & Ellie.

The boy and girl(in the top photo) could not touch Leo & Ellie at the first, but once they knew Leo & Ellie were gentle dogs, they can not help petting on Leo & Ellie's body. This makes me happy.

撫でなでなでなで・・・・・
Pat pat pat pat pat......

食いてぇ～ (I wanna eat)

あ、ご飯が落ちてる (・。・)
拾ったら ウザい説教を聞かせられるしな～。　そいつは勘弁だっつーに。(-。-;)　　
ここは一つ お利口な振りをして置きますか。 (^.^)

I found something good on the floor. If I eat it, my mum must give me a long lecture which is annoying. I cannot stand it, so I will pretend to be a good girl.




「ママー、食べなかったよ」(エリー)
「あら、お利口ねぇ。(~_~)　ＯＫ！」（拾ってエリーにあげる。）

エへ、私のほうがうわ手だわ。 (*^-^*)

''Mum, I did not pick it up from the floor.''(said Ellie)
''Wow, that's my girl! O.K.''(Gave Ellie the rice.)

Ahaha, I am much cleverer than my mum.



「あらら、エリーのヨダレ。かなり 我慢してたのね。偉いわ。」

ママって単純ね。また この手使っちゃお！ v(^o^)

''There are some Ellie's mouth water. She must have tolerated to try not to eat the rice. I am proud of her.''

I will use the same technic again.(LHT)

何時まで待たせるの！？ (How soon can we eat?)

今日は、ツナを追加してみました～(^・^)

「よだれが出るから、ご飯を見ないようにしなきゃ」(レオ)
「もう、よだれがダラダラ出てまするー」(エリー)

I added tuna to today's diet. Seems yammy!

''I try not to slobber by looking away from the dish.'' (Said Leo)

''I am about to loose my patience. Oh my gosh, drooling...''(Ellie)








『あれれ？　あたちの水多くない？』（エリー）　

『気のせいでしょ？（食べるの早いっすから　ごまかしョ）』（ママ）　

＊水分は多くとると、排泄が多くなり　身体の中の腐敗物も出ていいのです。

これは便利だワン (Useful)

(*^-^*)　お友達に頂いたこのビニールの水入れは、重宝しますがな。
This water bag is really useful. Light and it can be made flat by unhooking.



今日は、レオが私の足元に来ました。　実は、顔に似合わず　甘えん坊さんです。　(*^。^*)
（あ、便利物を　レオがつぶしてる！）

Today Leo came under my legs. Actually, he sometimes behaves like a baby, different from his appearance.

''I can tell.''(Said Ellie)
