I started teaching Nico to put his head down on the floor or his paws. It took a few minutes to figure out how to teach him this but once we started repeating it he picked it up pretty fast. After lots of practice, he was all tuckered out from thinking so hard and sat on the couch with an “I’m done” look on his face.

Do you enjoy this photo series? If so, it would mean a lot to me if you consider supporting my work through Patreon. For as little as $2 per month, less than a cup of coffee, you can help keep this project alive. You’ll also get access to exclusive posts, an annual photo book, and discounts on my landscape prints. Patreon funds allow me to focus on this project and others that don’t provide any direct income. And it’s super important that Nico gets paid with plenty of treats and toys. I need to keep the talent happy!
