Moose in Training

I am so proud of my boy! He is learning really fast. He had great house manners and knew most of his commands when I adopted him but oddly enough he did not seem to know "lie down" and he had a pretty bad begging habit. With very little effort I have gotten him to lie down at my feet while I am eating (rather than sitting facing me staring and panting which is a bit much if you eat dinner on the couch practically at eyelevel with him! Now he comes over and almost immediately lies down (how fast he lies down depends on what I have on my plate). He has also learned the hand signal for down though we are still working on it. I can't claim that I have had any rigorous training schedule so it really just shows that he is smart! We are still working on coming when called but that is slowly improving. I have always had a problem training that reliably when there are distractions, but we will get there!Another funny thing he does- sometimes he puts his toy back in the toy box! I have tried to train this in another dog (not that hard actually) but it is funny that he does it a little already. He will walk over to the box with a toy in his mouth and drop it in and get another! Not sure if he was taught this but it is cute! Plus it will be a big help given how many toys he has! Here he is playing with his PupTreads Tire!
