(Almost) Wordless Wednesday. Teaching 'nicely'

Back last summer, when Sampson was a new addition, we had to teach him meal time etiquette, by both waiting and taking food 'nicely', at first he really didn't grasp the concept....


Dante 'nicely'


Daisy Boo 'nicely' 

Sampson 'nic-'  Nevermind.


But he soon got the hang of it... (sorry if some of the captions are cut off!)




Happy Wednesday Everyone!

  3. Sampson, how we love what you can do with those ears:)

    Lightning is still learning "nicely" or "easy" as we use. But he is getting better since he loves getting those treats.

  4. Oh, he's so funny! Good "wait"!

    We use "gentle" for taking a treat gently, with varying success.

  6. OH this video made us smile! Great job, Sampson! I am very impressed. And now, I will tell you a little confession ...don't tell anyone ...I am almost 14 and have never learned this trick. My poor assistant has tried to teach me to wait, but I just can't do it!

    Your pal, Pip

  14. That was just hilarious. Wait for it... wait wait... wow... such concentration.

    I bet my dogs won't be able to wait for it even if I'd have promised them a giant steak. Treats are treats.

  18. Sampson, you has to work so hard fur such a tiny crumb. It do be tiny compared to your size. Do you not has super sizing ofur there like we do here at McDonald's? I think you need super sized treats. Just watching out fur ya, buddy, so you be getting your fair share.
