Austin Dog Training: Calcite and Zoe are Quite the Pair.

[singlepic=166,300,,,right]
Client’s Name: Peg & April

Dog’s Name: “Calcite & Zoe”

City: Austin, TX 78734

Breed: Yellow Lab and Red Beagle

Likes:Calcite likes to swim and play ball. Zoe climbs trees in chase of squirrels.

Pet-Peeves: Calcite doesn’t like the pool, something about the clear water freaks her out. Zoe doesn’t like water in general.

Favorite Toy: Zoe did not have a favorite toy until Calcite showed up in the family and now she loves Calcite’s stuffed animals. She will take it from Calcite and engage her in a game of “roundy round”. Which is the two of them chasing each other around the living room sofa. It’s tag w/ a “stuffie”. Calcite fetches with passion and then destroys it if you don’t take it from her when play time finishes.

Favorite Treat: Calcite loves anything edible. Zoe is a little more picky, but loves deli meat.

Favorite Walk: They both love the lake; Calcite for swimming and Zoe for sniffing!

Best Trick: Zoe sits and barks “Yes!” in response to “Do you love your mama?”

Arrival Story: A friend of April’s daughter had a litter. We went to look at them not really intending to get one and little Calcite walked up to April and April said to me “look at that face” and that was it! Zoe was a Christmas present to April’s 3 children in 2000. Cute little girl with huge ears.

Why Training / Sit Means Sit: The dogs bark terribly and won’t come when called. We will be doing alot of traveling and camping soon and wanted to have control over the dogs in new situations.

Motto: Calcite is the “big lug”. She is all love but very laid back. We call Zoe the “mensa” pup because she is so smart. She can even spell “treat” and “walk”. Well, she recognizes them when we spell them.
