First training session, by Picasso & Kat

Hello again guys,
So today I had my first training session with katkoota. It was my very first time to do such a thing, and let me tell you: I LOVED it...I was so excited (I'm always so excited LOL) that my tail did not stop wagging. I was introduced to Mr. clicker. At first, I was getting on top of katkoota, trying to get the treat. Then, I understood that I had to settle down, listen to the click and then the treat will come right into my mouth hehe.
This clicker thing is just sooo cool. I love it coz whenever its around, the treat is around too. Then, I moved to the next stage (learning how to *sit* in command). Katkoota wasn't planning to do it today, but when she saw me catching up to what she was trying to teach me really fast, she decided to move to the first basic trick (sit).
What I got so far from the (sit) command is that whenever my butt touches the ground, Mr. Clicker will make its sound and of course, the treat will follow. Katkoota still did not attach the word *sit*. She did not want to make the training session long. Besides, the malts where indoor and were not happy to stay there without us, so we had to be quick LOL

Katkoota to Picasso's blog readers:
Hi people, I just wanted to add something about Picasso here: I just LOVE his personality and I did enjoy teaching him today coz from today's training session, I kindda felt that he is the type of dog who enjoys learning (just like my Snowy). You see his wagging tail, and smiley face looking at you, and waiting for the next step (aaawwwww) I just LOVE him soooooooo much already. He is one smart, happy and funny pooch!!
Here is a clip of today. In the sit command, I couldn't manage to take good clips coz I couldn't train and record at the same time. It was gonna confuse me and him LOL
Enjoy this short clip:

YAY!! Picasso is so smart! All he needed was someone to stimulate his brain, and you are that someone, Kat. Will you fly to New York and train Bonnie, please??
