My Pugs~ My Inspiration

I use to stay alone and always looking forward for weekends to go out window shopping and enjoy coffee with friends.

As i started my project Alpha.. Puppy Central, i spent every corner of my free time trying to improve my skill, by providing better environement for these bunch of lucky furkids..eventually, they become the lucky one who posses me.. they own me...:)

the wrinkle on their head shows how concern they are towards my daily activity, where i go, who i meet today and when am i coming home...sometimes sam ( my staff) use to scold them tremendously due to their disrespecful behavior just to get over something they want... this is funny... however.. they are so driven by food ( treats)... this can really rule ther head...

my three lovely pugs.. (Vicky) known as victoria Beckham as she really loves to lay down on the couch and act relax... (Baby) as the naggy pot as she only stays on her own all the time and donest like distraction of nuisance.. well last but not least ( Paco) the alpha male.. that bark through the wall just to get what he wants... and usually he wants Vicky.. haha

Resting time...

Playing time with Pacco D handsome ... assistant Manager. * By the way he has been promoted, and pass his probation period... his marketing skill is good, he attracted many sexy gals walk in to my shop ! *

My Pacco D Handsome.. always look proud of himself... Humorous and silly... He is the kind of guy that live in the "NOW" ... he tend to forget everything after trainning.. all the time.. all his mind is only about "HUMPING".. the male instinct...

The Jealousy sickness

Baby has not been well lately.. she has non stop discharge from her eyes and the sparks in her eyes were totally gone.. I know she was feeling down due to the attention everyone given to Pugsly.. However, to me she is still the part of my life... :) Now lets see her progress in canine tricks game

She has another side of her eyes squeening and i know it is a little swallen. She had non stop discharge from both her eyes and they are just not sparkling anymore.

However, she still perform all her daily trainning and do her tricks as per command... It took less then 15 minutes anyway....

Stay ... ON treats



Play Dead

Shake Hand to strangers ( as per command only)

And lastly "Take a Bow to you"

Happy weekend to all my friends :)

The appearance of Man's Best Friend

I walk pass Foh Sang and Hilltop Housing while having a jog with Baby-The Pug early morning yesterday. As we were jogging along the housing main road, plenty of dogs were miggling around outside their house, perhaps owners let them out for some release...then suddenly 1 particular black dog( perhaps its a mix kampung retriever) ,with big paws and long deep muzzle came running towards us with a grin on his eyes a fierce look on Baby ( grrrr~ who on earth are you to step on our territory??), then it started to sniff around Baby...when he actually found out that we are not Harmful and just a passer by, he started to wiggle his tail and feeling to play with us... I thought dogs were naturally friendly with 20% human instact.. they are more then happy if you are able to calm them down and communicate through body language and simple words of command. Hence, i let Baby play with this (Blacky- i call it for a while)..

I suppose Baby wasnt the best well trained dog, however, due to the environment she grew up, in a trap small apartment and limited running space in KL, she was trained to understand her responsibilties, dos and dont and even be obedient i.e: less barking, potty correctly and~~ stop chewing shoes! i remember she chewed all my teddy bear in KL and even the biggest one she was trying to drag it down!....

Puppy/ or canine behavior trainning, is historically to be used for hunting , police force, fighting for protection and even leading the blinds. Nowadays, dogs had become mens best friends, womans companion and even, shows for children.... As we in Sabah having dogs arund the Taman or sometimes seeing carcass of dogs on the road are common scenario, this were infact a serious issue for metropolitan City like Kuala Lumpur, authories "put wild dogs to sleep" thats sounds cruel but yes it is true....

Basically to have a dog, they do need a basic obedient trainning.. not particularly to perform or anything but to listen to owners command and instructions... Some people naturally has a communication bond with their dogs, especially the watch dogs or the sporty type... that these group of dogs really do sacrifice for them... however vice versa, they are also behavioral problems dogs that barks non-stop at night, scartches al over their owners car, or even bite their owners, these group of dogs are mostly companion dog( in house) or Toy dogs ( manja Dog i mean) .Dog behavior trainning can make an enormous difference in our dogs life....

Have you watch the Movie Marly and Me by Jennifer and Owen Wilson?

Or Hotel For Dogs?

oh dear, these are the movies that really infuse dogs huminity to us especially to kids... Non muslim society like Japan, Taiwan, Needless to say europes... are treating dogs as FURKIDS...Perhaps for us is still unacceptable....however, when you are in situation that is so down or anger... they silently understand you and emphaty your feeling, just like any best friend does...

Ok OK enough of DOGS.... i am allocating 1 hour for Baby-The Pug Flyball trainning this sunday at my Taman basketball court... if you do need some behavioral trainning for your dog, let me try if i can help you out with this :).. free consultation, Chin do come by if you are in KK. I m sure your pug Blacky will be happy to meet Baby..

Cheers...for the weekend...

Have A Pugalicious Day!

Its Her Buffday!

I suppose i am not a perfect Dog trainer, Groomer or owner..However after doing much research and experiencing blending my life with a PUG ( which is welly known as hyper, attention, and sometimes trouble maker breed) ... a year of her existence in my life has somewhat enlighten me in accepting her as part of my family member; I find when we really love and accept approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works.....

So, in conjunction with Baby's 1st year birthday, i am throwing her a Birthday party and inviting some of her Close Doggie friends to come. I m excited to try the newly found Ham cake for the doggies, treats as well as some games for these little four legs furkid...To make it more fun, i will invite some dogs lovers as well... pet shop owners, groomers and also vet ...let see how it goes ..

Now this is my invitation card... Hopefully you can make it, Indy... :)

BANG! She is Died!

Lately, Baby The Pug has been busy practising her Play Died Drama.

First ...

On Guard: Ready For the Command

Ears tug and eyes Alert

Second: Ready For Down Post, at side plank

Command : BANG!

She slide herself down one side ready for play dead..

Then, she stretch her body straight, four legs on surrender mode....

While doing this , her eyes eyeing on you to see if you are preparing her treats somewhere behind your fist.

Third move: Stay calm, flatten side plank on floor, waiting for treats... head on floor but eyes alert and nose started to sniff silently.

Command : STAY

Finally , Show the treats on your hand, give her a loud applause and say UP!..

Then tap on her... because of food, she is most welcome to do anything for you....

BABY wants to extend her gratitude on her success of this PLAY DEAD TRICK to :

Dr. Wee Kiong ( uncle whom has been motivating her)

Juliana & Priscilla Che che ( training her on hands on practical almost everyday)

" You Really Love Me"

Examiner : Melissa Mummy

She Is Rabbies Free!

With all my heart, i wrote an appeal letter to the Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan (Sabah) on the reliease of Baby The Pug from being full quarantined ( 30 days) ... and at last ... her early discharge is approved!

Can you imagine, after 2 days trauma, a 3 weeks confined, how does she react after release from a cage? She run around like a mad dog, as usual releasing her waste like a stray dog, and most of all... she starts to chew everything!!! and Yes, according to my advisors in pugslife.org... she will forget her potty trained, but after a few weeks of patience training, she will be back to her discipline self...

I know this is disgusting but she really look so funny when she poo poo...

Quarantine Officer Henry, took her out from the cage and she struggled thinking that" whats Next! after this!"

She enjoys the Sofa So much, and chewing her favorite rubber shoe for hours!

She is as cheerful as a hyper clown, and she is so amaze with the new place and environment.Adenaline rush on her, funny expression and curiosity on her face makes her a real COOL dog as told to me. Nothing much i can tell but pictures speaks a thousand words.

Some people say Dogs are men's best friends, like wise to woman as well! Baby is still under home quarantine control, and if you happen to see a pug in Gaya Street, she might be BABY-The Pug....

BABY! You did it and i am so proud of u :)

Baby On Board-Part II

After a night trauma and waiting, 6 30 am, Baby was sent to MH 2604 for her departure, i was watching her form the terminal. A Renault Kangoo with a paw sign shows MAS ANIMAL KARGO sent her with a little siren on top.. I know its BABY.. and i know i will not miss her in KK... She was carried to the Kargo compartment, and i m sure she is wondering where is she heading to. She never bark, she never hawl, she just kept very quiet waiting to see the master's arrival.

10.05am, MH2604 arrival at KK Terminal 1, obviously you can see a cage cargo carrier, picking up Baby( no such thing as Pet Animal Carrier Car). She was sent to Custom, much delclaration to be done, Vet department declaration, import license declaration, custom declaration, then quarantine department report. We went and check on her, she has no poo, just a slight pee, she has no food, she doesnt even eat at all... she just feel sad and shiver, and she barked so much once she sees us... she wagged her tail and just shout " Where have you been!!!!???"

Without fail and escape, Baby has to come here" Stesen Kuarantine Kinarut" which all imported animals must stay for at least 21 days. You can request for home quarantine, with the condition of writing letters to the Director of Animal Department.

She was so sad, her ears flop drop and her eyes turn upward down, the happiness and activeness in her totally gone.. and she doesnt even care other dogs were barking welcoming her arrival.. she just doesnt care at all.. she felt so sad, why .... does she has to go through this..

Baby, no matter what you have to be strong and go through this, just make friends with your companion here, never forget my Sit, Stay and Down command... Where is the Ball and Heel!!! The rest, we will start from zero again... dont worry, you will be fine..

I ve been visiting her at least 1 hour almost everyday.... Prisc, if you want to visit her, let me know K :) She will love you.

The Things She Ate

Lately, Baby has big appetite. She used to be choosy and fussy in eating her meal.She never finish her daily dog food meal, which is a must for her before i feed any other snack.

Recently, she eats everything, be it edible or non edible, as long as she is reachable, she snap it and enjoy chewing with it, if she manage to chew it in her mouth , she tries her level best to swallow it..

She chews my loose powder sponge, all corners of my wooden side table, my socks, my shoes, even my dolls that i kept as souvenir.So, when all these chewing habit has turn my things torn, i just threw to her so she can concertrate enjoy chewing on one thing only... I use to give her 1 teddy bear to chew, as sometimes i think she likes to play with that little soft toy.. however as she grows, she needs bigger and bigger toy.. and look how pity are both my toys here:-

Both my teddy bears lost their eyes, and my red nose reindeer lost her nose... and if she manage to swollow any part of them, u will see the evidence every next morning... however, not everything can be swollow, some things just doesnt go through her little throat easily, Baby will vomited with the ease and regularity with hard core bulimic.Me and my housemate will hear her let out with a loud gaaaaaaaaack! at the corner of the house. By the time i rushed to her, you will see her looking at you at ease guilt with the toy in her mouth like this:-

Being inconsiderate of her, Baby next target will be a big challenge sitting on top of my bamboo basket at the corner of the house.. Everyday, she is waiting for the chance to drag this heavy bear down and try to bully him...look at her...

We in the house, can never have a foolish notion of letting her loitering around the house alone when we are not around.. She has to be confined... or... we confined ourselves just to avoid unnecassary damage again.

" Baby, if i were to count the damage you have cost.... it can only be replace by selling you away at Pasar Tamu ,Gaya Street KK! "

Love Affair

The Love affair ~A super hyper pug breed dog like BABY had me screaming on all fours in our entired residence. I laugh out loud looking at her pictures because its was the caption of her trying to figure out how to destroy, escape and sometimes deep thought ( wonder what her little head thinking about ). She is Hilarious.. As they said" No Pain, No gain"What i gain is -Baby..A hall of fame puppy if there ever was one.

"BABY- u spark up my life"

She is In love :)

Today is the 5th week of Baby's training, This little monster seems getting use to her training ground and started to familarize with her class mates and even Seniors...




So, before the class start, Baby been socializing around with other dogs and surprisingly she is behaving so good girl without even barking but just sniffing and wagging her tails to her friends.

"Hey, let me see if you are a hunk or a pretty"

So, Pacco ( another pug came along with his master and found out Baby has got a same face as him) so he started to check out Baby and started to sniff her all over... then, baby started to flirt with him and they chased after each other round the whole field... it was a laugh and funny scene to everyone.

"They were playing hunting game and ran throughout the whole field"

Can you see Pacco in this picture?? He is so macho and big :)

"Then.... they kissed~~~~"

I hope Baby can find her true love, she will learn along the journey .... she is just an adorable,cute, funny and sometimes "cunning" baby.

I learnt Programming

13 July 08, today is second weekend and its another exciting day for Baby.. its her second session of trainning.Most of Baby classmate arrived today but 2 of them absent, may be due the master saturday nite fever the day before.

"Do you think Jessica Alba Train her Pug?"

Today learning module:

1) sit your dog in a correct way- always say"sit" and adjust your dog to sit correctly at you left.Always use a standard command to your dog "sit" for the position of sitting correctly on ur left.

2) "heel" means forward while tapping ur left tigh and proceed with left leg first while walking along with your dog. so, start with left leg and finish with left leg..

3) "About turn" is the turning position while walking with your dog. always start ur turning with left foot as ur dog is always alert and imitating ur direction with his closest source.. left foot.

4) caling your dog to "come", praise and reward. --this is easy to Baby, anyone who calls her she will wag her tail and forwad to you. However, this is another training module for today.

5) last but not least, the hardest one which is to command your dog "down".. most dog dont understand what their master want so what we have to do is to assist them by pishing their whole body down to the floor and then when they soften down, and on the floor, reward them.

Here are some pictures on Baby's senior, most of them are at agility and novice level.. Baby is newbies.. she will need to pratice harder to cope up with them.
Now i know, human body system can be programme according to our lifestyle, now even dog can be programmed... :)

A dog down position is veyr important as it is a way to calm your dog in order not to attack or disturb others.
