This is a great gag that you can
pull off on your next trip to the Supermarket. This
suggestion was sent in by Julie Clausen of the University
of South Dakota.
Take a couple friends or kids to the supermarket
and buy a box of doggy 
treats. While at the cash register, as you pay,
the others in your party show a great eagerness
about having one of the doggy treats...they just
can't wait for one! You try to discourage them which
starts a small disagreement. Using an authoritative
voice you yell out, “Sit stay”. Then
get your dog biscuit lovers to sit on the ground
and put on their best puppy dog eyes. After paying
for the biscuits ask the dogs to get up and heel
all the way out of the store.
Other angles on this are just carry some dog biscuits
around with you and hold them high above your head.
Make your child jump up and try grab the biscuit
from your hands.
If they misbehave pull out a collar and tell them
to smarten up. Then talk lots of baby or puppy talk
to them. You know, over emphasize your love to the
point of being repulsive. Head patting also helps
as well as getting your “dog” to scratch
themselves with their legs.
