Sit Pretty

**
sit pretty - sit pretty and cross - sit pretty wave -sit pretty high five
*
a spine bender

Bow
**(working on it)
bow is a caught behaviour - it begins with a doggy invitation - "let's play" -
at this point, Patches has 'bow' most of the time on command - it is all but one of his tricks

Roll Over
-
On your back is a handy trick. Although, we have been fortunate, guess what you're looking for as you scratch a chest lovingly.

It is never too early to teach,' sit, down, stand, stay, stop, come, come to heel '.
' Sit pretty, roll over, stand high, and all jumping tricks' should wait for
a more mature spine.

Approximately a year - patience beats years of damage control.

OBSERVATIONS

Porcupine/Dog meetings often wind up as painful encounters. Every dog does not necessarily learn from the experience. Old Conway, having experienced that delight once, still jumped in to help Brandy, who was determined to try it out for himself. And like ticks, quill removal can require professional intervention.
In Brandy's case, he was a bleeder, and required sedation.
