Tom: So.... you think I should teach him something else first? Like how to sit?

　　Mindy: Yes, Tom. That would be a good start. Then you can teach him how to heel.

　　如果换成我，第一件事就是要让狗"house broken"，也就是说，在经过训练后，能够到指定地点大小便，从而保持家里的整洁。

　　Professor: That's true. Teaching your dog how to shake hands isn't the number one priority.

　　Professor, Mindy说的"teach the dog how to heel"是什么意思呢？

　　Professor: It means to make the dog obey you. You can also say that you bring a person to heel. For example, "At first the boss couldn't control her employees. But after she threatened to start firing people, they all came to heel."

　　我明白了，come to heel就是听话，服从的意思。

　　Mindy: Tom, the dog is never going to obey you unless you punish him. When he misbehaves, you have to spank him.

　　Tom: You want me to hit our beloved dog, who is a member of our family? How can you be so cruel?

　　Mindy: Tom, that dog isn't going to be a member of our family much longer unless he learns to behave.

　　Tom: Well, I prefer to reward him for doing something good instead of punishing him for doing something bad.

　　Mindy好像已经失去耐心了。她说，如果这只狗还不听话，就不能继续住在这里了。
