She can throw away the trash, but she can't hold a Sit Stay!

Roxi, Service Dog-in-Training went to  class on Saturday to test out of her beginner level. She failed because she couldn't hold a sit stay for 1 minute and because she was afraid of a giant freaky doll (it scares me!). Of course, she  can retrieve and drop items into the trash can and open and close cupboards, but the goof can't sit for a minute.

To give her a bit of credit...she didn't move except to lie down. I guess she's just lazy.

Roxi's only a year old, and staying in one position is just not her cup of tea. But, food is! So here's the new drill...

While I fix her food, she is going to sit and wait patiently for it until I release her. She already does this in a down stay, but so far, the sit position has been a challenge. She just wants to lie down. I can relate. A tip for those of you with similar problems: make sure you are working your dog on a rug or other non-slip surface.

As for the doll...it's been slathered with peanut butter and is no longer a problem. And I've been seen dancing with that dumb doll, which is sure to give Roxi confidence.

I too have trouble staying still for a full minute and a giant freaky doll sounds like something I would avoid, so I can relate to Roxy. The peanut butter dancing partner idea is inspired.

Keep at it Roxi! I'm a bull terrier, so if you believe some people I'm totally untrainable. And I got my Gold Good Citizen Award (UK) aged only two. They clicker-trained me, and I demanded copious treats and attention. It does work! And now I'm in the movies! Please come and visit me on http://www.oniondog.com.

just be glad that she has friends to look after her. With all she has been through, it's good to know people will be there for her.
