What did your pet(s) do today?

Sadie officially learned to take a bow on cue today! She is way cute when she bows and she knows it too! lol It is super easy to teach because it is a play signal that dogs use to invite another dog or you to play, so the behavior can be captured and rewarded, then a cue is added once they have it down pat.

It looks like this when dog/cats do it:

Or like this when humans use it as a yoga move.

She learned another big thing today but it is in the realm of Service Dog training, and probably not a good fit for the pet thread, so I'll wait to share that in another thread so as not to deter this thread. I'd start a Service Dog training thread but thinking there is not much interest in that.
