"Last chance"- it's not what you think!

"Last chance," before taking a working
 position at axle.
"Last chance," it's not what you think!


"Last chance" is our command for Lusi to do a long pee. I got this command from John Wilmot of Dalmatian Carriages who told me it was an excellent way to train a Dal which is destined to be a working carriage dog; so that they do not suddenly depart from their position when working at axle, in order to relieve themselves. Since then, I have used the command words each time Lusi does a long pee when we are out on our walks. 
"How great is that," she must be thinking, "a treat just for peeing!"
