[nagdu] additional tasks

[Julie J.]

Cindy,

Your cookie story reminds me of a pizza incident when Monty was a 
puppy.  He was bad about jumping on counters and he's tall.  It's a bad 
combination! LOL  I had been working on getting him to bring me whatever 
thing he had picked up, sometimes it was food, sometimes socks, crumpled 
paper, random things from under the couch ...all sorts of stuff.  I'd 
take it from him in trade for a treat.  I didn't want him to associate 
taking things with getting in trouble because I feared he'd go hide 
someplace to devour the thing.  Anyway this particular day I had made a 
frozen pizza for lunch.  I pushed the leftovers to the back of the 
counter thinking they were safe.  Nope.  He brought me a piece of pizza 
and dropped it on my foot.  Then he looks at me and wags and wags like 
he had done something grand!   The slice of pizza was whole and in tact, 
not even teeth marks.  I gave him a piece of boring dog food in trade 
and he was happy.  Strange dog! LOL

I told her to fetch and she came up with the keys; then I pointed in the general direction of the stylus again and she fetched it. Once I was in a restroom at a grocery store and the TP wasn't affixed to the roll. It flew off and across the bathroom. I told her to fetch and she brought the roll of TP back to me. It's true! One time she grabbed a cookie off a tray at the VA Hospital; when I told her out, she gave it to me--dropped it right into my hand. Then do you praise or scold? LOL.
