Dog tricks

My friend is a dog trainer and while they lived nearby I learned about clicker training... I thought it was very effective and Lucy definitely perks up every time we use the clicker to learn something new.  I taught Ada how to do it and she loves to be out there feeding the dog treats and doing tricks.  She came to me all excited, "Mom!  I taught Lucy a new trick!"  I went out and Ada says, "Lucy, sniff."  Well, Lucy did indeed sniff... I mean, she is a dog.  Ada then proceeded to click the clicker and award her for sniffing.  Good job.
