Echo's Corner
Hey all! Welcome to XP Boost K9 Academy! I'm Echo. I'm rather shy, but I'm here to give you some tips. Today, let me tell you about how great it is to be a dog. I get to go outside and play for hours, running around with my sister. We wrestle and play with our feline siblings. Then I come inside and nap. When I wake up, I get to play with a ball with Mom and Dad. Usually, if I'm cute and follow what they want me to do, I get treats! Life is fun. See you soon!
Setting Up For Success
Look! It's me when I was little! When I still didn't know my name. Dad kept saying "Echo." I finally learned that that was me! Now, when Mom or Dad say "Echo," I look at them to see what comes next.
Today, Mom told me "Echo down!" when people were around. I immediately laid down. Mom said "Good down!" then gave me some love and treats. I know "down" really, really, really well. Because we practice it over and over again. I practiced so many times at home before I got to practice at the park and around strangers. Mom and Dad set me up for success.
We don't try anything new outside of our home until Mom and Dad are 100% sure Athena and I know it. Even if we've done it hundreds of times, Mom or Dad will reward us afterwards. They always tell us how good we did. I love hearing "good!" or "yes!"
