Ever teach your dog something that wasn't such a great idea?

[crazedACD]

I taught Casey roll over at some point..it became nearly default when asked to lie down and I never completely broke her of it.

Teaching Quinn to jump onto my back. We still all periodically end up wtih 15kg of dog landing on us when we bend over to pick something up.

The whole, Go Potty and Get a Cookie thing . . .

Tallulah now tells me she needs to go out and insists I go with her and SEE her pee -- or fake pee

She figured out pretty quickly that the fake pee doesn't work in her emergency bathroom tray (or it's raining/just rained and I can't get my little twat wet or I'll D-I-E! tray, which is an emergency in the Tallulahverse) after I laughed at her when she tried it and pointed out the paper wasn't wet.

I taught Cookie a leg weave. It's her favorite trick.

She is now wearing a cone.

Yeah...

^ That's hilarious.

Also Ow!

Speak and shake are evil around here, too. Actually, pretty much anything I teach Sienna gets taken to an extreme for a while and becomes her new FAVORITEST TRICK EVER!!1! to be done at inopportune times. For example, when we've been working on retrieves, when I try to put her collar on over her head, she grabs it in her mouth. I have to tell her "put it ON your face, not IN your face LOL.
