How to train your human - by MC

Sit/Stay - Preferably try this when your human is sitting on a nice comfy couch - hop up on their lap and prompty fall asleep, nice and warm and snuggly ... the human should remain in the sit until you release them.Try to practice this and other simple obedience training every day - they will soon be absolutely devoted to you.


Recall - It is fun to run, and if you practise your smile whilst running toward the human you will teach them to 'recall' just how much they love you and they will be so thrilled you returned to them they will shower you with lovely treats and pet names and generally make complete fools of themselves. Once in a while make them wait a little longer just to make sure they exhibit the proper gratitude.


Down - Humans seem to like it if you roll on your back and show them your tummy - this is a good way to teach the down and also encourage bonding with them - the human should immediately drop to the floor and rub your tummy whilst saying nice things to you ... try to practice this after you've eaten - nothing like a full tum and a nice belly rub.
