Dog training must be hardwired into my being. The third (temporary) member of our pack has started accepting a tiny treat after hearing Tammy-come and then stepping forward to accept a miniscule morsel.
Her owner (he bought her but he has yet to become her master) had told me she won't accept treats from the hand. He has to scatter a couple around his house so she can get them at her leisure if he offers her any.
I had the three dogs sitting in a semicircle in front of me and only responding to each one's individual name when I called it. Tammie's owner was impressed.
She will now "hush" when pointed to and given the command. She is even beginning to WAIT at the door as the other two dogs do. Tammie's owner is even beginning to remember to say WAIT, himself.
Will wonders never . . .

Tammie, that's an adorable name. She is on vacation and enjoying the good life with friends. Structure and routine. Brownie will remind me if I forget to feed the outside cats. He will meow at me and guide me to the back door. He also follows me from room to room.
Sounds like a cat in training for Bodyguard Jr. How cute.
