With all this training and running around with her "therapy" dog, where did / does she find the time for collage? Was there even college lol? makes me wonder.

Oh no, she graduated. She was a marketing major at UCI. She's not a dumb girl, that's for sure. I think she's prob about 23 or 24 now.

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.

Exactly! We started training Uni young. Right when we got her actually. Started right away with potty training and some basic tricks. This vid was when Uni was 4 months (so 16 weeks). See how proud she is when she gets a trick? How she charges when she barks? And notice how many times she gets her food when she gets a trick down. Does Misa get many? or any for that matter? I remember it didn't look like she was getting treated.

Another thing, I don't buy for one dang second that her name is Misa bc Cess likes miso soup. That's such BS. It's bc it sounds like Me So Mini.

Thanks for the heads up, at least that part was truthful.

Uni is just adorable, yes, big deep bark for such a little boy.....treats...When Misa was in the wagon and this Cess pulled it around her, there was a bowl of treats on her leg, Misa gave a quick glance at the bowl but was not given a treat. There was a high five where she may have gotten a lick of a treat, the action was fast, you have to watch really close. I agree Misa does not look happy, could be because she had a long, fast work out in that video. She has the sweetest lil face. I assume the reason this Cess goes for tinys is so they fit in the shoe, car, wagon and what ever tiny things she will be trained to do. I just hope this little girl gets a lot of love and not just used as a money making machine.

LOL. Now that's a young puppy having a good old time learning her commands and tricks! Not robotic, sad-eyed or perfect. Totally adorable and the way it should be - happy and feisty, having fun!!! The pattycake video I saw of little Misa sadly didn't look anything like that and left me worried for her muted attitude.

I love Uni! I still remember seeing her vids when I first joined YT and it was one of the things that inspired me to start training Jackson.

I completely agree there is something 'not quite right' with Misa and very robotic about her moves. She just doesn't really seem happy to me... you can see it in her eyes...

Btw, I will say though that treating after EVERY trick is not necessary especially once the dog knows the commands. That's something very common you do in training and start upping the ante a bit. Jackson will go through 10 different tricks sometimes for one little treat.

See how excited and happy he is to be doing this? THAT is the key difference IMO.

ETA: Not sticking up for her in ANY way. Just want to clear some things up for ppl who may read this thread and think things are wrong in general.

Looks like word on the street from the Misa mafia is Misa was a service dog for Cess because she was legally blind and that the other dogs all must have been foster dogs........

That is totally not true. There are two threads I linked earlier posted from Cess herself that at least Max and Joe Joe were bought as a puppy, as was Lilo, we all know that. There are two more unaccounted for.

Jackson is so cute. I cannot get Uni to sit pretty. I think she's not compact enough. She's all long and lanky LOL

I saw that they deleted something you commented on in the Yorkietalk facebook page about her. People just don't like to hear the truth if it doesn't fit what they want to believe.
