You know you did a good work on teaching your dog tricks, when...

[szecsuani]

So, this could be a funny thread.

...when you bend down for something you dropped, and your dog jumps on your back.
...when you put your hands in your pockets, and your dog rolls over/does a trick.
...when you only buy cheese if it's already cut into little cubes.

Your turn!

...When you prevent yourself from telling people "Come, sit down" as not to confuse them =P

You know you did a good work on teaching your dog tricks, when...

... your dog touches her nose when she wants to go outside, eat or play!
... your dog chases its tail for no good reason.
... your dog does about 5 different trick spontaneously to get a treat!

Szecsuani, Emma does jump on my back when I bend over to pick up something, but I can't take credit for it. She just started doing it on her own. (That's a trick? Then where's my treat?)

.... when you go outside eating your breakfast and your dog begs then rolls over
.... when your walking down the road and you look down to see your dog only to find he's not there hes walking on top of a fence(dam agility)

I am now teaching that trick, and it's so hard!



(My back is full of scraches...)


...when you find yourself murmuring commands, and making a plan on how to teach a trick, even if your dog is not around.

...When you avoid saying the word 'Walk' and wriggle out of it using original expressions such as 'I seek a journey mildly remote from my current domicile' xD
...When you sit on the couch and Achooo! pointedly, with your hand poking out of the blankets and a treat in the other, waiting for a tissue...
...When you find yourself lying in bed on a blank white night, counting tricks to sleep (Sit, down, beg, jump, roll, bang...)

You look around for your pup because you haven't seen her in forever, only to realize you told her to stay while you went to get the mail, and forgot to release her!

[tx_cowgirl]

...when she tries to shake the hand of every new person she meets.
...when you tell her to wait at the door and wonder why she won't move to go outside, then remember you didn't tell her she could.
...when she's won't eat because she's still in the wait position that you didn't release her from.

Lol I was just joking around with that one... Or at least I thought I was!

...Or as with a co-worker of mine,...when talking to your spouse, you have to spell the words P-A-R-K or W-A-L-K to avoid having the dog spazzing out and running for the leash!

...when you locked yourself out of your house, and you tell your dog (who is inside) to dig, and after 15 minutes, you can climb into the house, through a big hole.
Alright, this wasn't good...

Or, when your dog knows what those words spell (and Zena does) and you have to drag out the thesaurus for new words. I'm running out of synonyms, here.
