| One of my favorites that I have trained Jake "not to do" is be under my feet, between my legs and otherwise jumping all around when I am preparing his meals.
He is 6 months old now and as soon as he hears me open the rubbermaid trashcan that holds his food, HE puts himself in a down/stay in the middle of the kitchen floor (just recently started doing it with out being asked). He anxiously watches as I top off his water bowl, open a can, mix with his kibble, and put the bowls back on the floor.
He doesn't move until I say "OK"...then he launches like a sprinter in the 100 yard dash. It is really cute, but also very encouraging to see the future potential and current fruits of our training.
