The beagle with brains, charm, and a nose for snacks. When it comes to training, Iām smarter than I let on. Sit? Sureā¦ if thereās a treat involved. Stay? Only if I feel like it. Iāve mastered the art of pretending not to understand commandsāespecially when my human forgets the reward part. I mean, why roll over for free? I like to keep them guessing: one day Iām a genius, the next Iām āconfused.ā Itās all part of my strategy. After all, training isnāt just about learningāitās about knowing when to play dumb. š
š¾ The Great Cheese Caper ā A Training Tale by Sheero
So, there I wasāmid-training session, trying my best to look like a good boy. My human had just said the magic word: āStay.ā I planted my paws, puffed out my chest, and gave them my most obedient look. They walked away slowly, glancing back like they were in a spy movie. I stayed putā¦ at first.
Then I saw it.Ā Cheese.Ā Glorious, golden, fridge-fresh cheese in their hand. Suddenly, āstayā felt negotiable.
I began myĀ stealth mission. One paw forward. Pause. Another paw. Pause. I was basically a furry ninjaāsilent, focused, determined. My tail betrayed me a little (it was wagging like crazy), but I kept going. I was halfway across the room when my human turned around.
They gasped. I froze mid-step, ears perked, eyes wide, like Iād been caught sneaking into Area 51. Then I sat down instantly, tilted my head, and gave them the āWasnāt meā look.
They burst out laughing. I got the cheese.Ā Victory.
So yeah, IĀ knowĀ the commands. I just prefer to add a little drama, a little flair, and a whole lot of snack strategy. Training? More like tactical treat negotiation.
We were practicing commands, and my human gave me my favorite one:Ā āPaw!āĀ I love this one. Itās simple, it gets a laugh, and best of allāit usually comes with a treat. I slap my paw into their hand like weāre sealing a business deal. Easy snacks.
But then came the dreaded āStay.ā I obeyedā¦ for a moment. Thatās when I saw it: a slice of cheese in their hand. My brain said āstay,ā but my heart (and nose) said āgo.ā
I crept forward like a stealthy snack ninjaāone paw at a time. My tail was wagging like a flag in a windstorm, but I was focused. When my human turned around, I froze mid-crawl, then instantly sat and offered my best āPaw!ā like nothing happened.
They laughed. I got the cheese.Ā Mission accomplished.
So yes, I know my commands. I just prefer to use them when it benefits me. Especially if cheese is involved.
“I may not always follow the rules, but if thereās cheese involved, I suddenly remember everything.”
At the end of the day, training isnāt just about commands or treatsāitās about the bond I share with my human. Sure, I might play dumb sometimes, sneak a snack, or turn āstayā into a slow-motion cheese mission, but every moment is filled with trust, laughter, and love. My human sees more than a mischievous beagleāthey see a friend, a companion, a heart wrapped in fur. And I see someone who believes in me, even when I pretend not to know āsit.ā Thatās the real reward. Not just the cheese, but the connection. And that, my friend, is the best trick of all.
