Venus can now do "down" and "stay." I'm so amazed at how smart boxers are!!!!

It's adorable. Our older boxer Molson is really good at it.
That is too funny! It must be a boxer thing -- Creek and Caney both know "roll over" but getting them to actually do it is like pulling teeth Creek does the half-roll on to her back, as SLOWLY as she can possibly manage When I tell Caney to roll over she'll usually bark, then I tell her again and she lays down, then again and she jumps up and barks... repeat all that a few more times... by the time she finally gives in she's good and frustrated, and rolls so quickly that it's more like a "hop-spin-land-on-your-side" than a "roll over."
