I've just reread an awesome book and thought I'd pass it along.

It's called Smart Trainers Brilliant Dogs by Janet R. Lewis
It won't teach you how to teach your dogs sit or down etc. But it is an excellent book on how dogs lean and why. Its only 160 pages or so

Justice and Diva agreed

PS I think I take too many pictures of my dogs. I was only trying to get Justice in the picture and Diva came up and sat down beside him.

never too many dog pictures!
Sounds like a good book, tho

Diva says " my name is Diva- therefore I should be in all the pictures"
and she's showing how brilliant she is

Thanks for the recommendation--love the picture!

Was it hard to get Justice to hold the book? I'd love to teach that command.

Yep that's Diva always the belle of the ball.

Thanks for the recommendation--love the picture!

No he loves to retrieve. Its a play off the basic retrieve command. I told him to take(take what I have it my hand) and hold(don't let go until I tell you). He'll do it with almost anything especially if he is promised a treat. Now the girls they are more picky about what I can get them to take. But Justice is one in a million.

That's awesome! Bentley has zero desire to retrieve, so I think I'll leave that up to you and Justice.

That picture is so cute! If I tried that with Smudge he would just eat the book.
