Found the leader. He has no shame.
Owen Wilson, the Labradoodle with legs as long as a giraffe next to a statue of a giraffe. They are both hanging their head at the same angle.
Two giraffes. One pose.
Four dogs forming a circle. Waiting on the fifth.
Oh snap.
Theyβre forming a treat summoning circle.
Thatβs it! π

Fire season is going to be big and bad. Sad face.
Gotta love the PNW (and adjacent land locked states).

Iβm more than happy to teach you sign language. Marla and I both treat train and then treat wean. She would have the expertise with verbal commands.

Youβre creating a language bond and giving the dog a job. Dog love jobs.
You have the advantage of hearing so work on come and sit. Say the words, do the sign. Use a treat pinched in your finger/thumb π€ . They see that. They read the gesture.
Sit = gimme five with a French kiss . other 3 fingers are flat.
Lay down = flip sit over.
Place = hang loose π€
Stay = π
I use the Sign language. With Anderson being 1/2 blind and deaf I had to teach him to look at me all the time. I was a treat machine. βcome hereβ is Palm up , four fingers wave towards you. Treat train then treat wean.
