Great pics! I noticed the great 'down-stays', too! I want to know - does Bear give hugs naturally, or did you train him to do it? Both Casper & Bella wanted to put paws on shoulders as a greeting....I trained Casper out of it because he is so big & I was worried he'd scare someone who didn't know that this was a greeting, not agression...Be lla's working on not putting paws up on my shoulders...I have the same concerns with her - she's taller than me (I'm 5' 8 1/2") when she puts her paws up....someone that didn't know how sweet she was wouldn't understand that she just wants to say "hello" & sniff noses. Is there a way to train her to do it on command, not just when she wants too?
