My people spent over a year trying to teach me "down". I went to Basic Pawsibilities class. I learned how to sit and stay. I learned a bunch of stuff. And I know how to lie down. Duh. I'm a dog. I just couldn't figure out how to do it when they asked me to.
Over vacation, TMWFM spent a lot of time working with me. And one day, I got it! And now I can do some of what Lola does!!

I don't know that I'll ever figure out "roll over". Showoff Lola looooves doing her roll over trick. Growl.
Roll over took awhile for our dogs... but now that they do it so frantically they sometimes roll over several times in a row! But for a long time they would just spastically try to shake and not understand how that wasn't getting them a treat.
ReplyDeleteLola now does that with roll over. If she doesn't understand what I'm asking her to do, she rolls over. It's so cute.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny - Turk does that with "play dead" - if he can't figure out what I want, he'll just flop over "dead." It's hilarious!
