I do that every morning and that is a major feat since I am not a morning person! She will sniff and sniff and walk in circles and even start to squat but then she will stand up as if to say.....ooops....can't do that here! The times that she has, I have given her a special treat and praised her til the cows come home and she gets so excited that I think she's finally understanding......until next time!!! Hopefully the puppy classes next week will make everything come together for her (or me!)
