Most dogs adore training and it's good for them - and their owners - if training is kept fun, short, frequent sessions and upbeat. But the thing I most noticed in the early footage I saw of tiny Misa doing her tricks was her little hang-dog attitude. She didn't seem to be having fun, happily performing and sticking out her chest proudly once she'd done her trick. Maybe I was just reading her wrong and once she got older, she changed and loves doing them now. I sure hope so.
