The dog training gods are against us!
To catch up all of you who may not have heard our story, we have a dog, Asia. She is a German Short Hair. She will be turning 3 this year. Well, basically she is a "wild" dog. She is not trained to obey anything, and owns our back yard. Well, neither I or Tom really know how to train a dog so naturally we decided to enroll her, and us in some dog training classes. This was back in June.
On the first day of her training Tom had her in the back of our explorer. New leash and collar still on her. The leash falls down and gets caught in the hatch of the truck. So naturally, Tom lifts the hatch to throw the leash back in. Asia realises that she could be free and takes it. She takes off into the farmers field next door to us and is gone. We tried for several hours after that to chase her down in the field to catch her but to no avail.
Three days later we get a call from the police department here saying they have a dog at the station and to come see if it is ours. Yup, it is Asia. No leash, no collar, a nice big bump on the head and a broken leg.
So we had to postpone training class for at least 3 months waiting for the dog to recover from this whole ordeal.
Well, last night was suppose to be our first night of training classes, again. We made it, dog and all, to the store. Only to be told when we got there that there was no class for that night and we needed to reschedule with them. So, here we go again. We have rescheduled training for November. Lets hope that 3 times is the charm!
