Toby's life lesson # 4

Always remember your manners and be polite. When greeting people for the first time keep your rump on the floor with all four feet. You can wag your tail, but you need to make sure that all four feet keep contact with the floor (unless you are on your back begging for a belly rub).

When it comes to meal times it is also important to remember your manners. You sit quietly and wait for the bowl to be placed on the floor. While you wait for the release command to eat make sure that you make eye contact with the person feeding you and wait until they say the command and point to the bowl before you eat. Eating as fast as you can is also polite because it shows that you are enjoying your food - at least that's what I think.

And if you remember your manners you get to go on fun outings like swimming lessons at Onehunga Pond.
