Let Us introduce ourselves
Hello. I Am Michael
Hello, dear reader!
I’m Michael, a 27-year-old English teacher living in Cambodia, and the proud owner of this blog. My love for dogs—and my stubborn, but lovable pup, Jins—is what led me to start writing here. Jins came into my life as a stray puppy from my girlfriend’s aunt’s house, where he ruled the yard with his endless energy and inability to focus on anything for more than two seconds. Unfortunately, parvo infected his whole family and he was the only survivor. Training him has been quite the adventure, but one I wouldn’t trade for the world.
Why did I start this blog?
There are tons of dog training blogs out there, but I always felt like something was missing. They shared advice, but I wanted something more personal—something that went beyond just tips and tricks. I wanted to share the real stories, the struggles, and the small victories that come with training a dog like Jins. Let’s be honest—training a dog isn’t always smooth sailing, and I think it’s important to share both the good and the not-so-good moments.
A little about me…
I’m not a professional trainer. I’m just a regular guy with a dog and a lot of patience (well, most of the time). Everything you’ll read here comes from my own experience—from the frustrating days when Jins wouldn’t listen to the moment when he finally understood he had to focus on me. That breakthrough was huge, and after that, training became so much easier (or at least less chaotic).
Speaking of Jins…
He’s a character. One day, I thought I had lost him in the yard, so I snuck up behind him. When he finally turned around, he gave me this look like, ‘Really? You thought you could fool me?’—and then he just rolled his eyes like a grumpy teenager. He always finds a way to keep me on my toes!
When I’m not busy with Jins…
I’m probably geeking out over Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, LEGO, Star Wars, gaming, or blogging. Yeah, I’m a bit of a nerd, and I’m proud of it!
This blog is all about the journey. It’s not just about Jins and me; it’s about you and your journey, too. I hope you find some personal insights, a few laughs, and maybe a tip or two that makes your dog-training adventure a little easier.
Thanks for being here!
Hello Everybody, I Am Pouttong
Behind the Camera: Meet Pouttong
Hi! I’m Pouttong, and while you may not see me front and center, I’m the one working behind the scenes to make sure this blog runs smoothly. From photography to design (and even a bit of writing), I love being the creative force that brings our stories to life.
How It All Began
My journey with the blog started through my boyfriend, Michael, and his passion for dog training. What began as taking photos and designing pages quickly grew into me sharing tips and ideas from our experiences with Jins. Learning about dogs along the way has been fun and rewarding, especially as I’ve picked it all up through trial and error!
The Fun with Jins
Jins and I have quite the relationship. One time, he scared me, and when I yelled, he took off like lightning—it was hilarious! Even though he keeps me on my toes, I wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s part of our little team.
My Creative Passions
When I’m not working on the blog, I love to spend my time crocheting, painting, and, of course, indulging in photography. Creating and crafting are my happy places, and they fuel the creativity I bring to this space.
How I Contribute to the Blog
My role involves taking care of the photography, designing the blog layout, brainstorming new content ideas, and sometimes editing posts. Michael and I collaborate to make sure everything flows—he’s the storyteller, and I’m the visual creator. Together, we aim to keep the blog personal, relatable, and fun!
Hey You There, I Am Jins The Manager
What’s Good, People? It’s Your Boy, Jins!
Pops in with a big smile Hey, hey, hey! Y’all know who it is? It’s your favorite pup, Jins! Yeah, that’s right. I’m the star of this blog, and I’m about to tell you all about my life—buckle up, ’cause it’s gonna be a wild ride!
From Stray to Superstar
So check this out—I started as a stray puppy, living my best life like I owned the place. Puffs up chest You ever see a dog who thinks he’s the king? Yeah, that was me! Then Michael swooped in like a superhero—puts on a cape and strikes a pose—and decided to train me. Now, let me tell you, I was NOT having it at first. Stubborn? Nah, I prefer the term “determined.” Winks But eventually, I realized if I wanted treats, I had to focus on this guy. So, I did… kinda.
Pouttong—My Partner in Crime
And then there’s Pouttong—my girl! Holds paw to heart Listen, she loves me, and I love her right back. But let me tell you, I once scared her so bad she screamed! Laughs I’m not even kidding—she yelled, and I jumped like I saw a ghost! I took off so fast, I left my dignity behind. Pretends to run in slow motion But we’re cool now. We laugh about it—mostly because I’m too cute to stay mad at.
Living the Good Life
So what do I do all day? You might think I nap, right? Looks serious Nope! Not this pup! I’m busy being the life of the party. Chasing my tail? Yup! Annoying Michael? You bet! Puffs out chest I’m basically a full-time entertainer. I mean, have you seen my moves? Starts dancing in place
The Blog? Oh Yeah, That’s My Jam!
And here’s the kicker: this blog? It’s all about me, baby! My adventures, my training highs and lows, and all the hilarious moments that happen with my humans. They share their tips, but let’s be real—I’m the real inspiration here. Without me, there wouldn’t be half the stories, and you know it! Points finger for emphasis
Alright, folks, I’m out! Time for another round of napping and mischief. Thanks for stopping by and giving me a shout-out! Wags tail and poses for a photo
