Those dogs seem very well behaved. If it was my dog, there wouldn't be a cake in the photo with him. He'd have eaten it already.
Thank you
smile Ellie is "my" dog and I've done all her training. She really does listen really well, except for barking, she really over reacts to strangers and will NOT stop barking even when I tell her to. Otherwise, her BASIC obedience training is pretty solid with her "come" and "sit" and her "heel" is excellent if I do say so myself. Her "down" is a little shaky sometimes, she does this weird thing where she doesn't go down immediately, she has to come as close to me as possible, like on my feet and THEN she lies down. I haven't been able to break her of it, and ever since I started teaching her "roll over" it has gotten worse, now when she does "down" she rolls over on her side anticipating my next command.
As far as the little one, Lilly, I was a little surprised myself she was so good in those pics! admittedly we did have to hurry up and get those shots a lot quicker but she was a really good girl. that dogs only 1 year old! She's my mothers dog and I have been taking her to training classes for my mom. I think what REALLY makes the difference is that one of the very first things we teach all our dogs in my home is "leave it" It has been a VERY useful command for the dogs to know, and you can put a piece of food in front of any of my dogs and tell them "leave it" and they will.
