Naughty pittie learns how to become 12/10 "good boy"

Transcript

00:00 I've probably gone through a dozen toilet bowl brushes because of him.

00:04 He would never do it when I was in the house.

00:08 It's just my famous go-to item.

00:14 I'm hitting it now, but I guarantee if I put that thing back down on the floor,

00:18 he would probably be in there looking for that thing.

00:21 He likes you on the toilet bowl brush? Yes.

00:24 I had no idea what I was in for.

00:27 I'm thinking, "Hey, this is going to be an easy one. This is going to be an easy foster."

00:31 And this is Simon. Is that enough?

00:33 It was like fireworks.

00:35 I don't think there was any structure before.

00:37 He was up on the coffee table and up on the kitchen table.

00:40 He was just all over the place trying to get stuff off the counter.

00:46 No off switch on this dog.

00:49 I couldn't keep up with him. He's off the wall.

00:54 I was sitting on the couch and he jumped up next to me.

00:57 He let out this heavy sigh and rested his head on my lap.

01:01 And I knew that was it. I'm not going to give up on you. You're home.

01:06 And I didn't expect that.

01:08 I was looking for some sort of activity for him.

01:12 He took that first jump.

01:19 And that was it. It was go time from that point on.

01:23 Looks like Groucho Marx up there with the big eyebrows on.

01:27 Not sure if she's spray painting those on or if that's natural.

01:30 Simon was four years old when he started dock diving.

01:34 There is a 40-foot long dock and a 40-foot long pool.

01:38 I would usually sit him about halfway down the dock and try to get him to stay, which was the challenge.

01:44 He sits, he stays, I throw, he jumps.

01:49 He did great for this little dog that couldn't focus.

01:53 His longest jump into the pool was 19 feet 6 inches.

01:57 Little thing can fly.

01:59 He started and engaged so many conversations about how good these dogs can be.

02:04 It let people see a different side of these dogs.

02:07 He has taught me so much patience and understanding.

02:10 He didn't have manners, you know, he didn't know.

02:12 But he's come so far.

02:14 He does still have a lot of energy, but he has definitely met his match with Mabel.

02:20 I officially adopted her last year.

02:26 She really pushed her way into Simon liking her.

02:29 She adored him right away.

02:32 She teaches him patience.

02:34 He teaches her the bad habits of the house.

02:36 Of all things for her to catch on to, that's what she picked up on.

02:41 She picked up on that habit from Simon.

02:44 I guess some things just never change.
