Sasha has figured out our morning schedule when it is time for feeding, and we have figured why she comes into the bedroom while we are getting dressed.
As we get dressed for work, she is in the middle of our bedroom floor with her head between her legs looking at us with those big brown puppy dog eyes. She plants herself their to remind us that it is feeding time as we try to step over her.
I get her bed and place it in the den. Then, the water bowl is placed next to the bed. Then, the food bowl.
I have trained her to "sit and shake."
I leave the door to the backyard open so she has access inside and out. And when Drake awakens from his slumber, it is play time.
So, the Pavlovian conditioning can go both ways for canine and mankind.
She is a very remarkable puppy.
Oh, there mysterious "holes" popping up in our backyard.
Three "pits" and counting.
