We have been working on teaching Pizza "dead dog", where she just lies flat on her back. Ideally the goal is to be able to make a gun with our hand and have her lay like this. Well, unfortunately Pizza only accepts the literal translation. She has tried to kill herself twice upon the command of her mother and father by leaping to her death off of the bed. Luckily her attempts have been unsuccessful. I'm torn about moving forward with the trick...on the one hand, it's a cool trick. On the other, Pizza might not make it all the way to learning the proper execution. Perhaps that was not the right choice of words....
That's not really new news, but I thought of it because of something that just happened. I was just brushing Pizza while I was sitting on the couch and she was on my lap. I tried to reward her with a Beggin Strip, but she may have fallen off of my lap while I was trying to get it..
..Good dead dog
