My friend and fellow crazy dog-owner, Diana, left a good comment previously and I hope P checks out this 'dog whisperer' although I think it's all a lost cause. Basset hounds are known to be stubborn and almost impossible to train or teach tricks - but they are very cute and good with kids - sigh.I agree with Di that Fred-the-Basset is Alpha. He and P do Alpha Male contests some times when Fred forgets his place and challenges Patrick. They will stare at each other a real harsh stare for MINUTES with Fred muttering and growling at P until he breaks and comes whimpering to be pet. That said he has asserted himself on me and knows I take care of him more than P so now P refers to me as "Fred's Bitch". ha... HA. Get it? -sigh-
To rub salt in the wound I attached a pic over xmas of Diana and hubby, John with Kilo during a roadtrip to Sedona, Arizona from San Diego. Patrick laments all the time that we can't take Fred camping or hiking - and believe me, we tried foolishly once and he was dead tired after 15 minutes. Just wanted to show P the things one can do with their dog who 'placed first in his obedience class' hahahahahah!!!
