Doogie Howser

This video is proof that my dog Reggie is very trainable. She listens and can learn new commands. Yesterday I was chatting with my dad, hoping he'd be able to teach her to hunt in the week that we are home for Christmas break. She loves to chase birds; clearly her instincts are right on. However, I think my pa thinks that Reggie is too independent and might not be easily trainable.

As this video demonstrates, Reggie is trainable. The "wait" command is not an easy one, but one we're working on diligently since last week when she ran out on the trail path and almost caused a biker to crash. Yikes! It was a close call but also a wake up call. With the "wait" command getting closer and closer to perfect, there'll be no more running out on the path when bikers are approaching!
