Smart and Silly

In the few days we've had Roswell in our home he's showed us what a smart little guy he is but also that he is 100% goofball.

I decided to do a bit of clicker training and learned that someone has taught him the cue for "sit" but not much else. We have started to build on that beginning and in just a 3 minute training session he caught on what "down" is. Currently I'm teaching it with a hand signal as the cue but as he get better at it I'll add the word "down." He really seemed to enjoy the training and it was fun to watch how intent he was at trying to figure out the puzzle of what behavior would earn him the reward. Great work, Roswell! I can tell you were born to be a superstar.

And on top of intelligence and great looks this boy is also loaded with personality! He loves to play and is a bit disappointed that none of the other 4 dogs at my house will give him the time of day. It doesn't stop him from trying though. But even if they won't play with him, he's pretty good at entertaining himself as you can see in this video. Silly little guy!
