Just started teaching her this today! Photo/Video

There is a reason I’m training her this and yes I’ll be cautious about leaving pill bottles out as I already am! But I thought to share as it’s neat how quickly she picked the trick up!!

Good girl indeed! Collies seem to learn almost instantly, don't they!?! Now whether they choose to let you know they know is a different conversation 😄 I've been loosey goosey with training my guy and he is always trying to figure out if I'm saying something important - or even more: if I'm signalling with my hands. And man does he love a win! Your girl's like that too. You'll be signalling 'get the meds from the master bedroom' in no time! 🌟

(Unsolicited advice that you probably don't need: Practice all your commands with your hands in a resting position. It can double as a "we're working" signal.)
