How does one dog learn sit pretty when never taught.

It was Skittles turn to be worked and I was practicing sit for awhile and praising and giving her the special treats. Suddenly I said sit and she sat up pretty and I was amazed. She has not seen Sarge do this and Dakota cannot do it and so I am wondering how did she learn this.

She then sat for me and was praised big time. Then I did a sit pretty and she did it again.
Now if she would just learn OFF quicker.

I don't know. We had to show Hannah what we meant by "Sit Pretty" and she can't really do it either. She can't balance on her skinny little butt so her front paws come up and kind of flail for a moment.

This is what kills me ..she did it perfectly!

It seems to come natural to some, don't you think? Some pups just have a sloppy sit, so if you want it "pretty" you have to work on it. Looks like this girl won't need anything special.

I do have to admit that this girl is starting to amaze me with some of her talents.
I have seen her catching on to so many things quickly that it shocks me. I just laugh now when she sits up pretty and her paws doing the waving blancing act and a smile on her.... anything for that Bacon....
