I just got a Frenchy, second hand, a couple of days ago from a person that could no longer take care of her. It seems like there has been no training or discipline in her previous home so I have my work cut out as far as house training and other basic dog skills. The first night she was home, I was watching some skate videos on youtube and she immediately watched with intense interest. Then I put on some videos with dogs skating and she seemed to really understand what she was watching on the TV screen. I pulled out my skateboard and put it on the tile floor... she came over sniffed it, gave it a test bite on the tail, and just kinda stared and sniffed it. I picked her up and set her on top of the board and she stood there. I started to push it down the hall and she would jump off but she wasn't freaking out or anything. Since then, I haven't had time to work on the skating thing but I leave the board lying wheels on the ground in the hall in case she feels like trying again. Once she starts obeying some basic commands and I get her not to piss and crap in the house, I'll move on to skating and see if it's something she wants to learn. I'm pretty stoked about this dog... and I never thought that I would like a Frenchy!
