A Deal Is A Deal

Treats help keep Roscoe well behaved and focused during our walks, but that leads to some bargaining and grumbling that a deal is a deal.

Hand it over, Hu-Dad - a deal is a deal — Hand it over, Hu-Dad

Our twice-daily walks offer many distractions such as rabbits and squirrels (and the occasional bear family), but Roscoe’s biggest weakness is other dogs. To keep him focused when passing another walking canine or one in their backyard, Roscoe receives a treat for good behavior. Yesterday, we passed a yard where one of his buddies hangs out, except the dog was not outside. Roscoe argues that he behaved well and deserves a treat. As his look says, a deal is a deal.

  100% agreement! A deal is a deal . . . Roscoe isn’t responsible for the other dog not being out.

I have to agree with Roscoe-he thinks that because he IS well behaved while passing his buddy’s yard he does deserve said treat-lol! I mean-LOOK at those eyes!
