I agree with QuickSilver. No trick - no treat! Sammie is playing the two of you for all he's worth, & you don't get it. It's great that he's as well behaved as he is, but it's a shame to waste all his intelligence with no training to do more. There's all kinds of training books, dvds, free training info on internet. Get busy & use it. You could really impress yourselves if you put some effort into it.
Treat & praise every little thing he does correctly. Eventually you can wean off the treats with lots of praise. The more you can teach him, the prouder all three of you can be of each other. Go for it! |
