White Dog had a burst of energy and was still ravenous after dinner so Steve decided to practice tricks with her. She was quite happy when he grabbed the duck treats usually reserved for Agility Class but looked at him with shock when White Dog realized that she would have to work for them! For some reason, she has come to detest "Roll Over!" and flat out refuses to do it. Steve got down on the floor and "helped" her over--once--but it was pathetic to see. White Dog went on to perform the rest of her skills without incident but with lots of positive reinforcement (aka treats)!
