It has been a dog’s life for you
In this dog eat dog world
But don’t worry
Every dog has it’s day
Sure we can’t teach old dogs new tricks
But we’ll make it a challenge
I’ll not work you like a dog
I promise you that
Nor will you be in the dog house
We’ll play it easy
In this dog day of summer
It can be really trying!
Let sleeping dogs lie..let's see!


Ok let’s recap….
Those you’ve understood…

Sit!         ( good )
Stay!      ( very good )
Stand!   ( yes )
Fetch!   ( see how it runs)
Down!   ( ok..ok ..you are all over me)

Ok, we need to go for walks, I know!
We’ll firm up on,  let’s go, heel, come, leave it, among others!

We’ll get in touch with Snoopy and get some pointers..
You like Snoopy?
Speak! ( why no answer?)
You like Lassie?
bow..wow!  ( ok, you like Lassie..)

Gosh! ( teaching old dogs new tricks all over again!)
Whew!
