My dog Charley is a 1 year old min pin mix, and she's nuts... Anyway... We've been working on commands with her and she's doing very well.
She has a kennel that she sleeps in, and stays in when we're gone for short periods of time, (We don't leave her there in the day for more than about two hours.) Anyway, she usually loves her kennel, but just like a little kid, she's still going through her puppy-ish stage and crashes early. And, just like any little kid, she would stay up with us all night if she could. lol
There was one night where she was tearing around the house, and being overly hyper, (meaning she was getting tired, she gets crazy and destructive when she needs to sleep, lol.)
She usually listens to the command, "Charley. In the kennel." And with a quick point to the kennel she settles right in, but this time I guess she decided that it wasn't time for bed time and ran outside and tore around in circles and then came back in and jumped on the table. (She's an extremely good jumper, she knows the table is forbidden, and she knows it will get her in trouble, but I guess she didn't care.)
I was getting upset with her, but I didn't want to yell at her. (She doesn't respond to harsh things, at all.) So I just firmly said, "Charely, get in your dungeon." In a stern tone, and pointed at the kennel.
She immediately jumped off the table and went in. It was fantastic. So, anyway, the command has kind of stuck and now she only responds to "Charley get in the dungeon." or just simply "Dungeon." I just find it kind funny, and wanted to share.
Charley loves her dungeon. XD
