How to Train a Human

 When you first acquire your human family, it a big help if you
are a cute little puppy.  (Not that you can't train them once you reach
doghood, but it takes longer.  They expect more from an adult.)
 
      Humans train easier if you give them lots of big ole sloppy kisses
to reward them when they get something right.
 
      When I arrived at my forever home, I was a cutie, weighing in at
two pounds at eight weeks old.  A little Rat Terrier, brown and white
spotted like a Pinto pony, plus giving lots of kisses to everyone --it
made me an attractive package.
 
      Once you have gotten this far, and won their trust, the next step
is in basic training.
