He has already developed an addiction to pupperoni. That's the real secret. If I have the pupperoni container out, you can see the wheels spinning as he tries to figure out what I want him to do so he can have some. It started when he would go in his kennel on command and I'd tell him he was a good boy and deserved a pupperoni while giving him one. It evolved to mentioning pupperoni sending him running to his kennel. Now that he gets pupperoni for other tricks, he's just looking at what else you might him to do for the doggie crack.
He is getting good at sitting to be petted. Except with the girls. I've noticed he still jumps up on their legs. Most likely because they pet him and love on him when he does. Bad girls!
