The little pup was a champ at her puppy class graduation today. She received the ‘most responsive to commands’ award and she won the the ‘best trick’ category. The winning trick was as follows:
- Lie down
- I put a liver treat on each of her paws
- I tell her to leave it
- She sits there in agony, finally turning her head away from the treats - waiting for about 30-45 seconds
- I tell her ‘OK’
- She scarfs up the liver treats with abandon

Sounds cute! Any pics of her in action? I think it’d be especially cute to get a pic of her turning her head away from the treats

The camera is a bit of a distraction but I’ll give it a shot.

Comgrats to your pup for graduating summa cum laude from Puppy U. What’s her name?
Is she an Aussie or Border Collie? As you can tell by my e-mail address, I raise Standard Collies, Borders, and Aussies.
Was surfing ways to set up my own blog and bumped into your site. Glad I did…made me laugh.

Her name is Noonan, she’s a mini-Aussie.
