Puppy Training

 This picture is from about a year and a half ago.  Em and Zoe (Grandma & Papa's dog) are still best buddies.  Emily loves to play tag and run through the house with Zoe close at her heels. 

Recently, Grandma and Papa thought it might be wise to work on some obedience training for their rambunctious puppy and this morning Grandma was showing me that after just one session Zoe had already learned to "sit".

As I was getting ready to head out the door to work, Miss Em was shouting "SIT!" and trying to get the same results that Grandma had just demonstrated.  However, when that didn't work I heard, "LICK!" 

Does it count as obedience if you just loudly shout what the dog is already doing?
