shaking hands 2008-02-10, originally uploaded by Phil Youngholm.

Chester is a very bright pup. Of course we would say that in any case, but he does seem to learn quickly, particularly when food is involved. He shakes hands, sits, and lies down very nicely. For the photo, Arlin managed to get both of them shaking his hand together. Of course, there’s a treat just outside the photo. We’re taking both dogs to obedience classes starting in a week.
