How to train a dog part 2....

I swear our whippet is untrainable. We had our first lesson with her on Sunday and all the otehr dogs can sit and lie on their mats, but not Cleo. I think she has ADD or something as she has the concentrations span of a gnat. She can eventually sit, but the amount of coaxing one has to do is incredible and sheer amount of doggy treats we have to give her in order to do ANYTHING is making her a bit fat, and well, there's nothing quite so ridiculous as a fat whippet. But, on the plus side she doesn't bark or yank on the lead like some of the other dogs. Even better is her saliva output, which compared to the slobbering cocker spaniel (or whatever dog abhorencey it was), is very minimal to say the least.
