[suh-ren-der] to yield (something) to the possession or power of another; deliver up possession of on demand. Ahh the power of treats. I really believe without them there would be no doggy tricks. At least not from my dog! This weeks topic at IF "Surrender".

    Oh my goodness... I LOVE this Ivy! Our dog does the 'bang' trick and acts like he was shot... all for a treat. He will not do it unless we have a treat though. lol Just an adorable piece! :)

    the doggy is just precious!
    I wish mine was like that ... instead, she gangs up with my cat, and they lick me to death... every day

    I've been trying to teach my dog this trick ever since I saw your drawing, by the way. It's not going so well. Can I borrow your dog?
