Graduation


Me and my dad went to Bella's graduation. We got in the car, and Bella looked a little sleepy.



And she was drooling a lot.





She knows sit, focus, down, rollover, stay, wait, and come. It was like a regular day of training.

But at the end they got deplomas and...







hats to wear for the picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






First i tossed a cube up in the air that had all kinds of comands on it. And wich ever comand i saw first we would have to do that comand.Then we walked up and down the iles. Boring with a capetal B.Then we went back in the room and got Bella's deploma and got the pictures taken.



But when we got there Bella was tired, and on the way home Bella was tired.




Sleepy head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know who I'm more proud of: the new blogger with her first post or Belly for graduating. Liv is an awesome trainer. She knows all the commands and she corrects me when I am doing something wrong. She works with her everyday and she is extremely forceful in her commands. She gets bit a couple times and it doesn't even phase her; it just makes her more determined. It must be a Tilley trait because she didn't get it from me.

The cutest part was when we were doing tricks. Liv asked the trainer if she could perform one of the tricks with Bella. There were the people in the class with the other dog and about 5 or 10 people gathered around the training area watching. She got Belly to sit, down and then roll over. Everyone was in awe.

Keep up the good work Liv!!

Liv, I didn't know you were in on the training. I thought it was your dad that was doing it. This is awesome.

That is so cool that you got her to do a trick for everyone. Maybe you and Bella could do a show. You could do your shoulder thing, and thumb thing, and walk on your toes and maybe even the pigeon walk, and then Bella could do tricks that you teach her. It would be a traveling dog show.

Great job on the blog. The pictures are great and you really told the story well.

Liv is a girl of talents extraordinare, meaning great. Now Liv you have to be able to convince Baby that you have everything under control. Have you taught Bella the command for never biting her roommate again? Maybe you just have the gift. I understand they are looking for a new white tiger trainer in Los Vegas. I think you might want a little more practice before you apply for that job. Lexi can be the vet and Liv the trainer. What a great team!

Hooray for Bella! I'm glad that she was able to perform all of her tricks in between the napping and drooling. It is tough to be a dog.

Liv, I think it is awesome that you are a dog trainer. Could you please come back to Utah to help me with Shady?

Liv said...

grandma i cant stand like that on my toes since i spraned my foot. And + i HATE doing the chiken walk.


i dont think Bella has bit her for a long time, well thats what i think.

And i will come back to Utah to help train. OR i could just see Shady, and Connie.

Well, this old grandma didn't even know that dogs got to graduate from anything, so that is a great accomplishment for both of you. I know in the dog shows it is important for the trainer to do just the right thing, so the dog can perform at his best. So good for both of you.....

Shelly said...

Liv you are a pro at blogging, much better than I am... I'm impressed!!

Congratulations on your dogs graduation!! And all your many accomplishments. You and Lexi are amazing!! We miss you and love you!!
