Happy Thought # 12: When dogs learn the trick
I was practicing with Bruce earlier on the lessons he learned yesterday. Unlike some people I know, dogs have far better retention skills than some humans. They listen and they follow.
I was doing the Leave It - Take It exercise with him a while ago. I put a bacon in front of me and asked him to Leave it. He stopped, sat beside me and ignored the food, well at least he acted like he was ignoring the food. The important thing is he asked for my permission before he did anything to it. You'd think they won't listen, but they do and my heart just fluttered with pride and happiness.
