Adie can be so very weird sometimes. I reward my dogs for coming in quickly from the back yard by giving them 1/2 of a tiny dog biscuit. They are all instructed to sit before they get it. Adie had decided that sitting isn't good enough. She refuses to take the treat until I have her sit, lay down, then speak. After that she happily grabs her little bite and scoots on into the house. Weird. She must think she has to show up the other dogs.
Cassie, my shih tzu, will sometimes situp without being told to if she wants a treat really badly and now Skeeter has started doing the same. The surprising thing there is that I have not taught Skeeter anything. He has picked it all up from the others. He heals, sits, speaks and sits up.
Now if I could just get them to understand that the best place to pee is outside!
