Now Pongo may not be the best-trained pup in the world , but the one thing he has always been very good at is 'sit'. Until yesterday on our walk - excellent recall, but when asked to sit for his treat.... nothing. Standing staring up at me, with a look that said "I can't hear you and even if I could hear you I've never heard that word before and that hand signal means nothing to me and could I please just have that treat?" Same for OH. Got him home, and the 'sit' is back - instant and perfect. The reason.... he didn't want to get his bottom wet sitting on the wet muddy track. For heaven's sake! Next he'll be asking for a manicure and a diamante collar....
Re: What a wimp This is a dog who 14 weeks ago had never been inside a house, brought up in an outdoor kennel! And now he won't sit down on wet ground! Bless him - he knows which side his toast is buttered on. ;D
Re: What a wimp Unlike Lady when I was standing in a field up to my ankles in standing water and she thought a treat was about to be offered and promptly sat in the water! ;D
Re: What a wimp Don't blame you Pongo. Just the thought of getting my bottom wet and muddy gives me the shivers too.
Re: What a wimp Pongo the "princess" perhaps! ;D Bless him, can't wait to see him again on Monday. I did have a chuckle reading your post Rosie, I first read the bit about your OH...as it he wasn't sitting any more on command! ;D ;D
Re: What a wimp [quote author=Beanwood link=topic=6190.msg81126#msg81126 date=1400931267] I did have a chuckle reading your post Rosie, I first read the bit about your OH...as it he wasn't sitting any more on command! ;D ;D [/quote] Ah, but that wouldn't be news....I've been trying for 22 years to get him to sit on command and no luck yet.
