AUGH! I forgot which commands we’re teaching Biggie! The problem is – there are some he’s got down pat already, but the main one we’re working on is “Where’s Daddy” – that’s not going so well. He’ll go to him if I start walking over and showing him where to put his head, but he hasn’t quite made the connection yet, which is odd because he’s usually really quick with new tricks. A similar command, “Bed” (go park your put on a piece of carpet), was pretty close to mastered in about 2 days, and now he does it from across the apartment.
And there are a few he’s already learned and are now part of the repertoire, but I can’t remember what they were. I think I’m losing my mind.
-crawl
-Where’s Daddy
-crate (go in your crate)
-off leash heel
-”bang” (thanks Lindsay)
We haven’t started “bang” yet and Where’s Daddy gets me a look like, “what do you want me to do?”
Maybe Ace is just a drama king and really working the playing dead thing like in the old movies where they are shot and it takes five minutes of dragging themselves (crawl) across the floor til they finally die (lay there from the bang) – you never know you may have a movie star!

I know, it’s easy to lose patience. Hang in there, you’re doing a great job!
