YAY Bentley!!!

Brian and I have been slowly but surely trying to teach Bentley some manners. We started with "sit" and then "shake" and then "lay down." The first one was pretty easy...we hold out our fist (as if there is a treat in it - I learned this from Paul) and say "sit" and she does it. Then Brian started to teach her to shake and she learned that one pretty quickly. We did those 2 for awhile but then we started thinking that it was time for her to learn to lay down. So after sit and shake, we started moving our hand from left to right as if telling her to lay down and just today, she started doing it. I was so excited the first time she did it this morning that I called Brian squealing! She then did it again tonight for Brian and it was pretty exciting. The next thing to teach her is "stay" and "roll over." She learned awhile ago to ring the bell next to the door when she wants to go outside...she abuses it a little but its a pretty great tool!!! We're such proud parents!!! ;)
