"Last chance"- it's not what you think!

"Last chance," before taking a working
 position at axle.
"Last chance," it's not what you think!


"Last chance" is our command for Lusi to do a long pee. I got this command from John Wilmot of Dalmatian Carriages who told me it was an excellent way to train a Dal which is destined to be a working carriage dog; so that they do not suddenly depart from their position when working at axle, in order to relieve themselves. Since then, I have used the command words each time Lusi does a long pee when we are out on our walks. 
"How great is that," she must be thinking, "a treat just for peeing!"

  1. The one thing that I'm not liking about having a girl dog.....the times that it takes forever for them to find a place to pee! I'm used to boy dogs who are more than happy to pee wherever and whenever. :)

  2. lol! It's true. Lusi often refuses to pee anywhere but in our backyard! She'll actually cross her legs until she's back from her walk rather than "just pee anywhere!"! She is such a refined lady..and just cannot do that in public.

  3. @Tabatha F Forgot all about this recent video of Lusi peeing at the barn in Dande's stall...I have no idea what that was all about!
