Human Training Standards

I’m Dougal.  I’m Chief of Security at the kennel of Talisker’s and Tobermory’s Mummy’s parents.  She’s visiting us this week along with her litter mate and her human puppies.  They’ve been spending every day chasing lots of other human puppies in floating human carriers.  Their Chief of Security, Bone has come too to make sure that they get properly dried off and warmed up at the end of the day.

I think Talisker and Tobermory have been a little lax in training their humans.  My humans are extremely obedient in responding to begging, especially my Daddy.  All I have to do is look at him and he gives me food.  It doesn’t matter where we are.  It even works when they are sitting down at the table to eat.  I tried this with Talisker and Tobermory’s Mummy, but nothing.  I increased the level of stare and even brought Bone in to help, but still nothing.  I consider begging to be one of the most important things to teach humans to respond to, but maybe in California dogs have different standards from those in England.
