:54:00
Excellent.
I remember.
:54:15
Hello?
:54:17
Oh, hello, chouchou.
:54:19
Oh, I'm glad you're home. We're doing some
fieldwork on the lesson of the leash today.
:54:25
No, not so good. Well, I've let
him lead me all over creation,
:54:28
and now "pet" refuses to follow
for just one block.
:54:30
He won't budge.
What do I do?
:54:33
- The instructions are quite explicit.
- That's fine, but I don't have the book with me.
:54:37
Chantal, you must commit
each rule to memory...
:54:40
so you will have the ammunition
at hand as the situations arise.
:54:43
In this case, Rule Seven:
:54:46
"If your puppy refuses to budge,
jerk the leash sharply.
:54:49
"Just enough to get him started.
Once he's headed in the right direction,
:54:54
"slacken the leash immediately...
:54:57
and praise him lavishly
for coming along with you."
:55:02
The praise is
the important part, chouchou.
:55:05
Thank you, Maman.
:55:11
Here you go. Thank you very much,
Mr. Wright. Pleasant puffing.
:55:14
Thank you.
All set?
:55:15
Oh, you're still here?
Yes, I'm still here,
:55:17
and you are coming along
to Bloomingdale's with me.
:55:20
All right. After all, darling,
you are the artist in the family.
:55:24
I need you. I mean, suppose I picked out something
that would offend your sense of color or design?
:55:29
Really, Eugene, I am glad you're coming
along with me. You have such fabulous taste.
:55:33
Well, I picked you, didn't I?
:55:35
Okay, Charlie,
you take the lead.
:55:44
Maman, that book has made
a new man of Eugene.
:55:47
You can't imagine how he's
changed. I call, he comes gladly.
:55:51
We hardly ever argue anymore. I just follow the
rule: "Never lose your temper with your puppy."
:55:56
Oh. You never lose your temper?
Mm-mm.
:55:58
- Well, he has changed.
- Of course, I'm careful, like the book says, not to overtrain him.
