All the puppies seem to love him &#8211; I think that&#8217;s because he always has a treat in his pocket for the well-behaved pup. He&#8217;s tough to please, but his experience as a canine police officer comes in handy with the unruly pups. That&#8217;s Ciao Bella at his feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somewhereinnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/IMG_2967.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109113915355200306\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somewhereinnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/IMG_2967-200x300.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">This is Whiskey &#8211; he&#8217;s the same age as Luka and is so well-behaved.

I think Ciao Bella is that little brownish blob under Luka&#8217;s feet &#8211; oops! Whiskey is the only pup in the class that&#8217;s similar in size to Luka and big enough to push him around. I love to watch them play together.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somewhereinnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/IMG_2966.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109113412844026642\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somewhereinnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/IMG_2966-300x200.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">I don&#8217;t know what type of dog Skippy is, but that&#8217;s her hiding under the chair while Luka torments her. She&#8217;s funny &#8211; shy with the other dogs during playtime, but she loves to distract them (especially Luka) during the *lesson* with barks and a flirty ear shake. She and Luka regularly compete for who can bark the loudest while poor Sam tries to teach. She comes to class with her mom and at least 5 little kids &#8211; none of whom even try to keep her out of trouble.  Tonight she went for a swim in the huge water bowl!<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.somewhereinnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/IMG_2970.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109113168030890754\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.somewhereinnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/IMG_2970-300x200.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">The little black pug whose name I can&#8217;t remember &#8211; she&#8217;s a sweetie too.  Luka likes to chew on the side of her face.<\/p>\n<p>So far we&#8217;ve learned Sit, Take It, Leave It, Down, and just tonight &#8211; Come! Whiskey seems to be the star student in the group.
