Kelsey Learns A Trick

Kelsey has learned a new trick-play dead.  I think she plays dead a little too happily though...notice the wagging tail.  A big thanks to Julie who recorded it for us.

On day 1, she learned the basic steps.  
On day 2, she learned the command for putting those steps together and started to understand it.  On day 3, I could see her lightbulb turning on and she nailed it several times.  The biggest hurdle was that she wanted to roll over instead of going on her side.  You see, after Kelsey learned how to roll over, she decided that she LOVES doing that.  She wants to roll over super fast for a treat...she will even do a few in a row while following that treat.  I have even seen her rolling all the way over when she plays with her toys.
