Not much going on this weekend. I spent all day Saturday playing with my new washer and dryer. I guess it is a little sad when you brag about your new toy and it is a washer and dryer. Doing laundry was kind of fun. I am sure it will go back to being a chore next week.
I spent some time working with the Tobes this weekend. I am trying to teach him a new command. "Drop" When Toby goes into a down from the command down he likes to sit first and then go down. I also use settle so that he will move onto his hip. I think changing to "drop" he will understand that I want him to down on top of his feet so he can pop up in a hurry. I think this is going to take some time. But I do think he is starting to understand what I want.
The other command that I need to work on is "stand". It has been two years since I worked with this command. I think some how I taught Toby to stand by using his release word "free". I guess I am going to have to talk with the experts on this one. The last thing I want to do at this point is add more confusion to Toby's life.

Nice washer and dryer! I want a set of those almost as much as I want Boomer to "Q"...
Pretty washer and dryer!!! That is on our "to buy" list at some point when we have money again! :-)
not quite sure what happened to my last comment, but it must be in internet space about now....hahahaha
I was saying that I liked your new washer and dryer too.
Plus, I like the idea of "drop" - I am going to work with Kodiak on that. She is in the mood to learning something new, so there we go - problem solved. ;) Thanks, Terrie!!
