“Training Day”
• Open your reading book to pg 18!
• Listen to me read this story.
Our first dog-training class was today. It was no
coincidence that Buddy’s red collar matched
my red sweater. I wanted us to look like partners
today!
The teacher was pleasant and calm. We watched
as she modeled the first command. “Sit!” she
said. She held her hand just above her dog’s
head. As he looked up at her hand, he sat down.
“Good Dog,” she said. I copied her command,
but Buddy wouldn’t sit!

“ Training Day”
Buddy and I practiced the “sit” command all
morning. In class, I was the first person to try the
command. “Sit,” I murmured. Buddy looked at
me and stood.
“Speak firmly,” the teacher said. “Your dog is loyal
and wants to obey you.”
“Sit!,” I said. Buddy sat! “Good dog!” I said. We
learned more commands. As I recited each one,
Buddy seemed to know what to do. I was very
proud of him!
