Watch Dr. Yin with her dad's new puppy, Lucy, at 7.5 weeks of age. It's her
first day at Dr. Yin's house. Lucy's already learned to sit for kibble. Now she
is training her to sit to be petted (getting attention), and Dr. Yin is removing
rewards for jumping. Then, she does the same thing with her own dog Jonesy
around. Lucy correctly reads Jonesy's signals and backs down when Jonesy makes
it clear he doesn't want her in his face.
