I’m not convinced that Lumiere is not an idiot. The trainer we’ve been working with at Man’s Best Friend in Woodstock told us early on that his stubbornness was a sign of a smart dog. I just don’t know. I’ve shared videos before of Lumi running in circles in the backyard and barking at nothing (which he still does occasionally). Lately though, he’s been barking at Christmas decorations that are higher than him. Snow flakes, a kissing ball, even the Angel on top of the Christmas tree, nothing seems to be safe. I swear, if the dog had a medical id bracelet it would only say IDIOT on it.
As usual with us, we set up our train under the Christmas tree (whats Christmas with out a train under the tree?) and the girls like it. We’ve all taken turns playing conductor and at first, Lumiere seemed to like it. After a little closer inspection though, the dog seems to be threatened by the train. Take a look.

Heh. Lumi couldn’t herd the train. Durned disobedient trains.

I don’t think it’s good to let the dog bark so much, it’s pretty annoying and doesn’t teach him respect/obedience.

You’re right, it doesn’t. Which is why we go weekly to a training class where he is learning to be obedient. At least on leash right at the moment anyways. We took him to Mans Best Friend and they worked with him for two weeks in September and we’ve been going weekly for training since then.
He does well on a leash and we’re working on long (30′) leashes and around other dogs now…

Dogs bark, get over it!
