"Mother May I" is a game out of Sarah's book My Smart Puppy (written with her partner and husband, Brian Kilcommons) with the goal of teaching your dog to look to you whenever something tempting (or concerning) comes into view. Each piece of this game is taught separately but you can see the end result in the two video clips of Sarah working her rescue dog, Pip. This episode also includes a fun and creative trick that Shirley Minatelli taught her service dog, Xia. What a tidy pair these two are!
