Football Jargon

Dog owners may understand some of these terms that sound a lot like football.....

Corner Sweep- checking for pee, where dogs mark the corners of your home.
Back Leg Hike- watch for the signals- slowing down, sniffing, lifting the leg (male), to prevent the dog from marking its territory.
Listen and Run - ears open, ready for any slight sounds to indicate trouble (peeing, chewing, growling).
Pat and Call- smack your leg and call their names to have them come.
Step and Test- walk around in bare feet and "feel" where there may be a peeing incident.
Touch and Sniff- touch your fingers to the wet spot on floor to determine its origin (pee?).
Bones Up - term used for bones, treats or toys when placed up high where dogs cannot reach them.
Lift and Push - Raise knee and push dog down when they jump in excitement.
Snap and Yell - not pretty, nor correct. Happens when you get upset.

Sam. Mr football himself.
