From Sit to Down

After mastering the sit in record time, Miss Daisy has started working on down this week. She is getting there with the help of some kibble. Also on the list are stairs for this long-legged diva. Going up is no problem, but coming down is a tad bit scary. Her trainer feels like she isn't quite sure how to get her back feet working on a slant. With a bit of food for motivation, she figures it out pretty quickly.

Some dogs are toy motivated, while others are food motivated - meaning they will do what is asked of them in exchange for either the toy or food. Daisy is very food motivated. She should wear a sign around her neck that says "Will work for food."

Her favorite time of the day is the morning. She prefers to run laps with the male dogs because she is so fast, but will only run one lap. She figures she's already won - why continue?
