Sammy Learns, “Roll Over”

So tonight I introduced Sammy to the “roll over” command while working towards improving her “down” command. I didn’t think she would catch on so quickly, but again she surprised me! To me, she seemed to really want to understand what I was commanding. It may have been a little frustrating for her, but she didn’t really show it! It’s sad to say my dog is smarter than I am! LOL! We didn’t train for very long tonight, but I think it was better that way. I get so impatient sometimes when we’re having trouble communicating together. But nonetheless, this dog fascinates me! It’s amazing how we both try to understand each other. If you’re interested in watching the video of our brief training session, you can check out my YouTube channel in another window. We go over some other tricks briefly and towards the end we try “roll over” for the first time. You’ll be amazed at how quickly she catches on!
