I am overflowing with dogs, with recent adoptions I now have 4. This summer I intend to begin some obedience training, just basic stuff but I thought I'd work on the 'sit' command early.
The GSD pup has got it down, the Shih Tzu totally ignores requests and has his whole life, the duck tolling retriever sits sometimes. This leaves the Great Pyrenees. I push his rear (he is a BIG dog and it takes a LOT of effort) down in an effort to get the idea across and honest I was beginning to think he was as dumb as a box of rocks because he wouldn't ever sit.
Today I was eating barbequed chicken and he was looking at me mournfully, wondering how on earth I could actually be eating food that was obviously meant for him.
I looked at him, raised up a chunk of chicken and said 'sit' and do you know that back end dropped down right away...
Sometimes I wonder exactly who is getting trained here
