The behavior doensn't really bother me I just think its quirky. She will turn her head away and refuse the treat after she sits She waits for the "down" command, goes down then still refuses the treat unless I tell her to speak. THEN she will take it. She is always in such a cheerful mood about it! I tried reversing the order but she still insists on doing all three and each one has to be in response to a command. She's a funny little dog.
