Hat off to you, certainly!<br /><br />@Ximena Frequently, that's when I'm in the position to reward Elka as well! However, she needs to get the "earned it" versus "entitled to it" distinction through that pointy head!<br /><br />@Pamela sitting or laying down is what we try to stick with as well. Now we're adding "no, don't sit ON me" and "lay down over there". <br /><br />@Livingwiththeseasons unfortunately, the "go" frequently makes her just pace around, which drives me bonkers! Something to work on as well. "Go lay down" just creates a holding pattern, instead of the desired behavior (that I thought I'd taught her....we all saw the pictures! The problem is the OTHER members of the household actually enforcing said command, I daresay). (I saw that you moved, but I'm glad you reminded me!)<br /><br />@houndstooth what is it with guys and being softies like that? ;)<br /><br />@doggy dessert chef Dog mind powers is something that scientists should study. We might unlock Jedi Mind Tricks after all!<br /><br />@Kolchak isn't it sweet? When she actively tries to trade, it is hard to resist.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-24868883181970208972012-01-04T23:41:44.212-05:002012-01-04T23:41:44.212-05:00I LOVE that your polite little girl wants to trade...I LOVE that your polite little girl wants to trade a toy for your snack.

We started enforcing that all 3 have to be in a down away from the table when we're eating... but slowly, every single night, Emmett inches himself along until he's right under the table. Honestly, we don't correct it because it's so darn funny. As soon as he reaches the table, though, we send him back! :)Maggiehttp://ohmydogblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-25220955468568268532012-01-03T19:39:23.242-05:002012-01-03T19:39:23.242-05:00Ha ha ha!

Back to the plate, then to you. Throw in a little drool and you have no doubts what he's trying to communicate.<br /><br />I keep waiting to find a miniature pinscher actually sitting in the middle of the popcorn bowl. Oh wait, he did nearly did that to my husband with the cottage cheese. My hubby put it down for a minute, went to pick it up and got a min pin head instead. Unfortunately it was full too. <br /><br />I've done the same thing you have. They get on my nerves and I snap a "go" command and they usually leave. <br /><br />Nancy aka dogear6<br />(you know I moved my blog to a new home didn't you?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-81929839137523237412012-01-03T14:03:20.978-05:002012-01-03T14:03:20.978-05:00We taught Honey that if she lies down while we'...We taught Honey that if she lies down while we're eating she'll definitely get a snack.<br /><br />I keep getting compliments on how she's so well-behaved and never begs.

She never steals a thing, she just stares and waits and stares. <br /><br />It's not my fault sometimes I just wanted to teach her something new right then and there and only had food from my plate to give her for accomplishing it lol.Ximenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149363758149608097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-28970995139111196032012-01-03T13:15:30.342-05:002012-01-03T13:15:30.342-05:00Thats like all four of mine
