Learning to follow commands is like learning a language: it's total immersion. You're finally grasping the meaning of sentences. Now enjoy the rewards.

It's true, you can be somewhat stubborn, but your owner views it with affection. Other humans may not be so forgiving. Try to be good for the dog walker.

Who knew? Your owner's wishes were beyond your comprehension. Now that you understand the lay of the land, it will be a lot easier to win biscuits.

Cooking is your owner's therapy. Not bad for a dog who loves table scraps. Be sure to give extra love and affection before and after cleaning up.

The sneak attack is a good strategy, but only if you attack. Inching closer until you're discovered won't get you much more than a biscuit, but that satisfies the hunter in you.

Learning to tease out reality is healthy, even if it's shocking. No, they're not really your parents. That explains the two legs but doesn't write off their love.

Don't let a trip to the groomer fill you with anxiety. Think of it as a way to get extra attention from another human. If that doesn't work, look forward to extra-clean belly rubs.

They say the devil is in the details, but you couldn't care less. Your debating strategy is to drown out the opposition. You'll do just that and have a good day doing it.

You know just what you need: that particular concoction of affection, praise and freedom. You'll get all three at the dog run today for an infusion of spirit.

Another dog has you figured out. They steal the ball with surgical precision. Are you losing your edge? No, they've just spent plenty of time analyzing your plays.

Ignore the hecklers. You'll never win over the enemies of dog culture, but that doesn't mean you should join in the fight. Showing them you can stay grounded is your most disarming stance.

You're a conduit for healing, whether you know it or not. Seeing how things really work is not necessary, but it is enlightening. No wonder you get so many biscuits.
