“Max”<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Client’s Name: <\/strong>Jim & Kim<\/p>\n

Dog’s Name: <\/strong>\u201cMax” or “Maximus Aurelius the Gladiator Dog \/ Max”<\/p>\n

City: <\/strong>Austin, TX 78704<\/p>\n

Breed: <\/strong>Rescued “Shlaberpit” = mutt<\/p>\n

Likes: <\/strong>Jump, chew, claw, fetch and very touchey. Loves walks and just about anything when he’s got his parents attention.<\/p>\n

Pet-Peeves:<\/strong> Absolutely won’t let me balance a milk bone on his nose and hold still. But as an old friend used to say… “Rome wasn’t’ built in a day baby.!”<\/p>\n

Favorite Toy:<\/strong> “I think that’s an easy one… the Pink Monkey! Monkey is a shadow of his former self. He has been almost full gutted and de-limbed. The only appendage remaining is his tail and it’s days are numbered.<\/p>\n

Interesting thing is Max practicing the violent shaking of Pink Monkey gave him the skill to kill a opossum in the back yard at the rare age of 3.5 months!”<\/p>\n

Favorite Treat: <\/strong>Chicken Jerkey from Costco.<\/p>\n

Favorite Walk: <\/strong>Loves Town Lake, we can’t wait to get him trained so it’s a more leisurely experience for us.<\/p>\n

Best Trick:<\/strong> Ambidextrous hand shake<\/p>\n

Arrival Story: <\/strong>Traveling between the tile store and Home Depot on a Sunday, we decided to do a fly-by at Austin Pets Alive<\/a> off S Lamar. Saw Max in a litter of 8 pups. Crawled inside the pen, sat down with him and the rest is history. The old “puppy dog close” still works and always will.<\/p>\n

Why Training \/ Sit Means Sit:<\/strong> “Maxium aka; “”The Lion King””, can be very distracted and kind of wild. My gut was he would be very responsive to this style of training. He needs to re-focus and get distracted or he’s just unmanageable.<\/p>\n

The results were almost immediate. He’s responding to our commands and far more manageable in less than a week. I took him to Joe’s Coffee on S Congress. Dogs everywhere. Last week he was a crazy idiot. I had to leave and walk him to stop the pulling and incessant barking. This morning he was very manageable with the same Doberman and Rhodesian Ridge back two tables away. ”<\/p>\n

Motto: <\/strong>“Sweet Puppy… because he is!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
