Couch Training



I work daily to increase humans' tolerance to my presence on the couch. Patience and persistence have paid off; I am ON. In the first photo I demonstrate a technique to communicate my intolerance of so-called furniture "throws," blankets, and other such fabric "protectors."

Unfortunately, humans are slow to learn (refer to second photo). I am not discouraged. Baby steps, patience, persistence - all useful training habits, as is manipulation. The canine pilates pose pictured above usually evokes some sympathy, eliciting such comments as "Doesn't her back hurt?" and "How long can she stay like that?" I'll tell you. As long as it takes me to get back on the couch.
