Sit, Tai!

[she's squatting, with a bag of dog treats in her hand and one in the other. obviously she's trying to get the small terrier in front of her to sit, but... doesn't seem to be working.]

[--Tai eats the treat, but doesn't sit down. Kairi sighs in defeat, sitting down with her legs splayed.]

Guess you're just not a trick dog.

Make him sit first. Like, push his butt down gently so he sits, then give him the treat? 's what I did for mine.

[popping up out of nowhere nearby, hi.]

{ Kairi giggles a bit at the two- it can't be helped~ } Y'just gotta be a little bit patient with him, is all.

[fjkld;s almost pitches forward with that scare.]

... say that again?

[looks over at her.]

Yeah, I know... wish it was as easy as it was on TV.

[zombie-arts.livejournal.com]

Okay well, he's not going to understand the word right away, you know? So you have to make him sit while you say the word, then give him the treat. Then he'll start connecting that the word means if he sits down, he'll get a treat.

[crouches down next to them.]

Maybe you gotta make him do what you wanna teach him, first. { Shrug- just a suggestion. }

What kinda dog is Tai?

*ah one of his favorite Kairis, he wanders over*

When did you get a dog?

[lollied.livejournal.com]

[hm. well, it true, she probably didn't know how to sit until she was taught, so why not a dog?]

Okay, here goes.

[with some difficulty, she makes the terrier sit, giving him the treat afterwards and petting him.]

[lollied.livejournal.com]

I think he's a terrier. Some kind of one, anyway.

[as she says this, she tries to push Tai down--to some avail, though he just stands back up again.]

[lollied.livejournal.com]

--Ri!

[scratches Tai's ears.]

I found him around. I don't think I'm really going to keep him--there's probably someone looking for him, right?

[zombie-arts.livejournal.com]

Now you just repeat that until he learns. It could take anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks, depending on how smart he is.

Whatever kinda terrier he is, he sure is cute! { With a smile, she clicks her tongue a bit and waves her hand over at Tai. }

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*comes closer and inspects the dog*

Maybe. Or he might be trapped here, too. If kittens can suddenly appear, I don't see why you can't keep a dog.
