Dog training for kids


The other day, I was telling my boy that he couldn’t do something and it dawned on me, I have been talking to him like he’s a dog. Yep, I have been “training” my boy pretty much the same way I trained by dog.

“No! Good boy!”

“Sit. Good boy!”

“Wait. Good boy!”       

The scary thing, it’s working. He actually listens to me, all the time. I know it won’t last, but I’ll take it while I can. Although, I wonder if I can keep him listening to me by offering him treats for doing things I like, just like I did with my dog? Plus, I imagine the Milk Bones will be great for when he’s teething again. Not to mention what a nice shiny coat he’ll have!

I’ll also have to think about crate training him when it’s potty training time. It worked very well for the dog, I can’t see how it couldn’t work for the boy.

This could get interesting…
