Progress Not Perfect

Drew and Kyle decided to meet at the dog park again the following afternoon. As soon as Drew walked up, Kyle could tell he wasn’t happy.

“I’m an idiot!” Drew exclaimed.

“Why?” Kyle asked. “What happened?”

Drew shook his head. “I forgot to take out the trash last night,” he said.

Kyle sighed. He could guess what had happened. “So the kitchen was a mess again?” he asked.

Drew nodded. “Yep. I cleaned it up, but my parents were really upset.” He hugged Lucky tightly. “I don’t want to lose him. I’ll have to do better tonight.”

“Maybe you could write it on your hand,” Kyle suggested. “Or set an alarm to remind yourself.”

“That’s a good idea,” Drew said. “I’ll try that. So what are we doing today?”

“I’ll show you some more commands,” Kyle said. “But then I have to work with Rex. We’ll practice getting Lucky to come later.”

When Drew stood up, Lucky jumped and twisted with excitement. Drew grabbed his collar. “Down, Lucky,” he said firmly. “Sit down!”

“Move him to your left side,” Kyle said. “That’s heel. And make him sit when you’re standing still.”

“Heel!” Drew said. It took a few tries, but he finally managed to pull the stubborn dog around to his side. “Sit!”

Lucky barked and wagged his tail, but he didn’t sit.

“Push on his back end,” Kyle told him. “And when he sits, give him a treat and pet him so he knows he did what you wanted.”

Drew pushed on Lucky’s back end, but the dog tried to move away. He turned in several circles before finally sitting.
