Bella's 3rd Training class

I am so looking forward to training classes with Sisse, but until she has had all the required shots, no go......our Vet is adamant about spacing the vacinations out and not giving to many on one visit. I like that part, she seems to really know this breed and what they are all about. So, we train at home for now. How do you all get a dog to "speak"......I was trying to get Sis to speak the other night, I had her treat and she "sat" on command. I "barked" and said "speak", she looked at me like I was a fool.....Joe said I should eat the liver treat because I did it so well!!

You know, I was watching that show on Animal Planet the other day, "Who gets the Dog". The "expert" on that show said that dogs do not "mimic" people. I didn't believe her because there are certain things that we do that Sis will join in on when we are playing!! I guess I will just have to keep barking at Sis!! LOL...and by the way, the liver treats really stink, so Joe will have to find something else that interests me!!

From what I have read, most seem to feel that the current dog in the household will actually "help train" the new puppy. Kinda like having a Nanny!!
