A fan (my Aunt Hillary) of Oy Velo sent me a copy of the book How to Raise a Jewish Dog by Ellis Weiner & Barbara Davilman. I’m not sure if Aunt Hillary was being sweet, or if she sent the book to me because my mom told her of the numerous ordinance citations against my dog. Either way, the book seems like a must read. Here are some sample training techniques:
On commanding “Sit!”: (”What, would it kill you to sit down for one lousy second?”)
Advanced command: (”Don’t stare at Cousin Edith’s hair when she comes over.”)
Situational Martyrdom when the dog disobeys: (”Fine. Do what you want. I hope you have a nice life.”)
I’m currently trying to stalk the authors and get an interview, so stay tuned.
