Uni is sooooo darling. I love her! And I love the "Speak" command. I've been sort of trying to teach it to Thor, but I've spent so much time getting him NOT to bark, that I don't have a good trigger anymore! The only thing he'll bark at is other dogs outside, and I feel kind of weird at the thought of praising him in front of other people for bad behavior.

And yep - I love his full tail, hehe. He looks so young looking at that video now and it was only 2 months ago! So weird! I'll have to make a new one  |
For some reason, Thor got Up really easily. I didn't even formally teach it to him. I think he just hates being in a Sit or Down, so he's looking for any excuse to get up. I think the gesture is pretty natural too.
We're still working on Bang! He's doing the same thing with Bang! that he did with Roll Over - He lies down, and then waits for me to push his shoulder. He actually did the full command from a stand a few nights ago, and I gave him a ton of treats, but he didn't repeat it. Still, we'll get there!
