My first skill? Well that would be love, of course. Isn't that what everyone is looking for? A sweet, loving doggie to pet and cuddle?

Obedience skills are so important because they help me understand my place in your home and family. When I earn my meals and treats by doing simple commands (Sit, Down, Stay, etc...), I'm attentive and understand that you're the boss - and that's something every doggie really needs to be comfortable.

Potty training? Yep. We'll need to work on a good schedule for me to go potty when you adopt me. If I need to go potty outside of my schedule? Right now I just give UC a quick woof or two and we go out to pee quick. Also, I sleep through the night really good without having to get up and go potty.

Speaking of going outside, how about we talk about leash skills. I'm a bit of a leash puller - There, I said it, okay? Sheesh.

But old Uncle Chris is a sneaky bugger and he knows about tools he can try to keep me from pulling. He got me a nice harness that the leash hooks in front. Guess what? No more pulling. You can check out the video to see how loose the leash is when I walk with it. No pulling there (the leash is nice and loose and floppy).

What about fun stuff? I love to play with toys and fun puzzles. Chew toys are another favorite of mine. I have a couple of Nylabone-ish things I really like to gnaw and munch on. And UC has this cool toy called a Molecuball that has food in it that comes out when I chase it around. And the rope toy and that darned squeaky snake? They're just downright fantastic toys to play with.
