Last weekend Allyn and I took Zeus to the Annual Posing Paws event to benefit the Minnesota Valley Humane Society. For a nominal fee, they let you choose a holiday setting and have a professional photographer take a picture of you and your pet. This also happened to be the first day that I used cut up turkey hot dogs as a training treat for Zeus. Turned out they were like crack for Zeus and he spent most of the photo shoot with his butt to the camera trying to get turkey dogs out of my pocket. Allyn and I had to restrain him facing the camera in all of the pictures. We ended up with some pretty cute shots. Here are a few of them.
He didn’t like the antlers.

Today I am working on desensitizing Zeus to me getting out my keys, coat, shoes and purse. I have been picking up my keys and putting on my shoes and coat and then sitting back down. The first few times he got up and got excited or upset, but we seem to have made minor progress because he hasn’t gotten up on the last few tries. My goal is 50 times by the end of the day.
