Dixie does her wave "Hi" when she wants a treat. I've tried teaching Dougal to "stand" as well so his butt doesn't snap to the floor everytime the treats come out. It worked on Dixie but Dougal doesn't seem to get the concept of standing. |
Good info and advice. Perhaps rather than "wait til I tell ya", we'll work on "stand" next.
Kyancer, it's tough having a smart doggie, huh? LOL
