Drank some coffee while the dog romped in the first snow of the year. Made him come back in when he started a bark party. Too early for that.
If I tell him to, he knows to stop at the mat just inside the patio doors so I can get down on the floor and dry his feet off with a dog-specific towel thing we have. He loves getting dried off.
Sounds like a lovely morning
No dog picture?
“Bark Party”
I’ll be borrowing that, good one!
There’s an old gif of a small terrier coming in and cleaning his paws on a mat. Sounds like you’ve trained your pup similarly. Pretty impressive!
He’s actually trained himself in a few ways. When he was little, he would charge the food dish as we were putting food in it, and we would tell him to “wait.” He decided that the place he should wait is on the mat by the patio door (about ten feet away), and he still does that, without anyone telling him to. Food container opens? I go sit on the mat until “There’s your food.”
