I love this photo of Mabel at Dirty Creek so much, I had it made into a phone cover... she's staring at Hank and Sue just off camera and looks so majestic!
My Commands (Requests?) / Mabel's Actions
- Go / Walk
- Go GO GO!! / Walk faster
- WAIT! / Walk slower
- Stop / Walk very slowly until Mom reaches me
- Come HERE! / Run away
- I'm LEAVING! (Turn and go my own way) / Run to Mom NOW!
- Stay / Look to Mom and continue on
- Sit / Stand still
- Use your steppie (steps to ease her getting in bed)/ Leap on the bed and prove I don't need a steppie
- Down / Lay down (Hey, she has to do one right!)
Geez, I'm a terrible dog trainer!

You forgot "No!" which means "not when Momma is looking."

Maybe you need a secondary command, like the one I have to use for Levi. I say, "Sit!" and he ignores me. Then I say, "What'd I say?" and he sits. I think it's kind of like pressing "enter."
Great picture of Mabel!
OMD!! Mabel, you and I speak the SAME LANGUAGE!! BOL
Oh, and you forgot 'move', which means 'walk in front of Mom, and try and trip her..."
I loved this post!!

That is pretty funny. Millie is working on her own set of non commands too.

BOL - very funny - AND sounds very familiar.
That IS one very beautiful photo of Mabel.

I love your commands and suddenly realised that we used some of them when Laura was around. :)
Yeah, stop means walk slower--I know that one.
BOL!! We all can relate!!
