A quick learner............

Every time my dog Cricket comes into the house,  we give her a "good job" treat.   Now,  the first thing she does when she comes inside is go near the treat jar and stare at us waiting for her treat.  Annie has quickly learned the "go to the treat jar and stare" routine..


We do not have our backyard fenced in.  What I have been doing is putting a long leash on him and I stand on the patio while he runs around with Cricket.  The leash is for a quick grab if he decides to run off.   The only time he has left the yard is to visit the neighbor dog when he is outside.   If I say come Annie in a loud high voice,  he comes a running back.
