We have been working on learning Down without him pawing my arms to death. My trainer helped me out today and we discovered that because I was patting the floor(in the beginning) that he thought I wanted him to touch my arm. Anyway after about an hour session ,he figured it out(or I did) and now he downs without me bending at all or him touching me with his big ol' feet. He is so smart!! Proud momma!!

Congrats!

Isn't amazing how we accidentally teach them something, and then think it's THEIR fault when they aren't getting it!

Aw that sounds cute. Okay, painful, but cute. I'm glad you both figured it out.

Doesn't it seem like we humans just make things harder than it has to be! Congrats!

CONGRATS!

I love those AHA lightbuld moments!

I'm waiting for Sonar and Onyx to have that on the down in motion!
