crysania4Really. I'm serious! lol
The one command Dahlia has struggled with is "down." She will do it quickly and easily if you basically point all the way down to the ground...lean way over, almost touch the floor. The word meant nothing to her, pointing meant nothing to her. So she'd go down, but only if you basically did an over-the-top gesture.
Yesterday, she FINALLY got it. She's now going down with just the vocal command or a small hand signal. She still seems somewhat hesitant, like "Is this the right thing, Mommy?" but she's doing it. I'm really excited for her to finally get the voice command.
Strangely, she got the voice commands for most everything else -- sit, stay, wait. Those are no problem. But down was. Go figure.
And because she's just SO cute, a few new pics David took yesterday.
Dahlia and the giant icicle our friend got down from the eaves.
Brandon and the giant icicle.
Happy dog getting her belly rubbed.
Itchy dog!
Awww Dad, you caught me...
Dahlia and her squeaky ball.
