Sarah, this story is especially for you.
Each night when we go to bed, Hoss has his nylabone and donut toy to sleep with. In a previous post (Lovey Puppy In The Morning), we described how in the morning Hoss takes each toy to the living room, drops it and waits for us to come give him lots of praise.
Well, the other afternoon, Hoss picked up his donut toy on the living room floor and took it to the bedroom and then immediately turned around and raced out to the living room with the donut toy in his mouth. He dropped the donut toy on the living room floor and looked up at us with his happy Hossey face, waiting to be praised.
Of course, we made a big deal about it and gave him lots of praise and lovey puppy affection.
This shows how smart these Shiloh Shepherd dogs are! Hoss figured all this out on his own. This also shows how praise motivated he is, which is great for training and having a loving, loyal companion.
After Hoss received lots of praise for taking his donut toy to the living room on his own, he was all excited and proud, and started the racing through the house zoomies. We cracked up laughing. He loves to play!
