As for pugs, I find they are quite exciting, they also come in handy if the power is out & you can’t use your Revitive

'Lead & Harness Training; how to walk without choking, how not to get overexcited when seeing the lead.'
Exercise Four.
Do you wait all day, filling in time, sleeping away the hours, till that glorious time when finally, FINALLY THE TIME HAS COME. You see the lead and harness picked up, so excited, so very excited, so so so...running in circles, yelping, jumping up, wriggling with joy that finally you get to go on an adventure.
The possibility of the new places, faces, smells, posts and checking out who's been around and what have they been eating, doing, saying...you just can't wait any longer and then oooooops, the puddle appears and you are in big, big trouble now and it's all turning out bad. And there's the cat just smirking away and you get mad and resentful. It's alright for them they have their own private indoor toilet and they don't give two hoots about anyone except themselves, they don't want to go out and meet anyone, well not on a lead anyway, they're selfish and just want to do their own thing when they want and they just don't care. Now you really want to get the hell out of there and away from that..cat.
You wait by the door quietly seething, finally it opens and you bolt for freedom, its all happening, there's too much happening all at once, the cat resentment, the shame, the excitement, the curiosity, which way, how far, the people pleasing, the full bladder, last nights dinner, tonights dinner but you forget..every time you forget, every bloody time you forget about the lead and choke.

Is it always going to be like this or are you ready to change this dynamic.
You want to change, desperate for change, anything but this endless disappointment with yourself.
Change comes with conscious thoughts and clearing the emotional clutter that is choking you.
It doesn't happen instantly, studies have shown that it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to break habits.
Old or young it is possible, the cat does it and you can too.
Let's start now with understanding the problem with those past ancient masters of control and the cats favourite philosophers, the Stoics.

“Stoicism is about the domestication of emotions, not their elimination.” Nassim Taleb
If we can remain steady, if we can corral and control our emotions, no matter what happens or how much external events may fluctuate, there's no obstacle that can undo us, no triumph that can overinflate us.
'apatheia'. At the centre of Stoic philosophy—that kind of calm equanimity absent of irrationality or severity, free of mental clutter and chaos.
It can be said that apatheia is achieved when you are in control, not your emotions.
It is a state of being that is never not hard to achieve, because each day presents plenty of opportunities to let our emotions run rampant and prompt impulsive, irrational behaviour.
Then we spiral. We lose control. Our problems compound. We drift further and further from apatheia.
And we have to dig a little deeper to ask ourselves what we can do to regain the reins?

Pugsley can speak dog so we’re good for that, but if you could redirect the Obedience Training School seminars to someone who gives a * that would be most appreciated

Seminar topic to include:
'From the Dummy to the Bottle; pacification of aggressive behaviour at feeding time.'
'Basic toilet training in the usage of AI; we know you can do it but there's a time and a place'.
'Playing Nice with Armaments & Incendiaries; judicious usage and preservation of own limbs.'
'Lead & Harness Training; how to walk without choking, how not to get overexcited when seeing the lead etc.'
"Separation Anxiety in Quooty; there's always next season, how and when to change clubs.'

Refreshments will be served along with the specially prepared vegan kibble platter and loose casual dress recommened.
