Sitting is so necessary, as is leash work.

I ask Charlie if he wants to go out. He grabs his ball (or used to before his "injury?") Now he takes it then drops it but picks it up on th way inside. I also tell him to "go potty" and yes he knows what it means. LOL! And yes he does but he needs to walk a bit first.

He also knows what "Home Home" means and and I let him choose front or back door.He also knows the difference between the front porch and the back porch by name. He prefers the front porch now due to his problem.

She sounds like a smart dog. Plus she seems to be a quick study. Good for her.

Congrats Plum.. you & DH make a great team 8-)
