Be careful, or you'll end up with a drill sergeant like me, as Chance yells "STEP UP, NOW!" - emphasis on the NOW!!!! part. :D

Its my fault. I dont use a clicker in training....I replace "click" with "good boy"....now he knows when someone obeys a command (cue) its "good boy" Actually pronounced "goooood boy" :)

Funny story. Oscar was on my shoulder when I had to go "number 1" Well after the fly opened yada yada, oscar let out a wolf whistle. I started to laugh and got stage fright. After a minute I was able to go. As soon as I start to pee Oscar says "goooood boy" hahahaa

Yes, at this point he makes the same vocalization over and over while ducking his head and demanding I pet him. He gets louder and starts saying "step up" into my ear if I stop.

Also, his preference for running water/bowls seems to vary by the day. I try to offer him running water every morning but just the other day he turned his back on the water and walked up to my shoulder, then tried to fly into the pitcher of water when I took him back upstairs. Sewing some cloth covers for them tomorrow :roll:
