    There He Stands, Staring at the Window, Waiting for Me to Call Him INside

    Does your dog do this? Oban figured out a long time ago that when I call him to come in he gets a treat. If he comes up to the door wanting inside he doesn't. I, in my wisdom, (questionnable) decided years ago his reward for asking or waiting to do something he wants to do, is he gets to do it. No treat. This has backfired, now he wants in but knows he won't get treated so he stands and hopes I'll call him in. Often I do because I'm busy and not ready to wait him out. Darn dog.

    My sister's dog has learned that he will get a treat for coming in now it is a battle of wills. She is not well and throws the treat out to him one the deck. The problem is Luna (neighbours dog ) is much faster and scoops the treat before poor old Levy can get to them. Got good news yesterday her cancer is in remission so maybe she will be able to get out once this blessed snow goes.

    I love funny examples of how we inadvertently trained our dogs (or they trained us)!
