"This is our pet. We can question his integrity and disposition, but we can't question his heart. Are you trying to teach us that the way to solve a problem with something we love is to throw it away?"
Lisa Simpson

Synopsis

After Santa's Little Helper gets in trouble for destroying Homer's new sneakers, Homer's large macadamia nut cookie, and Marge's heirloom quilt, Bart enrolls the dog into an obedience school, which Santa's Little Helper must pass if he wants to continue being The Simpsons' pet.

Plot

The Simpsons' dog, Santa's Little Helper, has been causing the family all sorts of grief. He doesn't obey commands, and is constantly making a nuisance of himself.

Lisa has the mumps and has to spend a few days home from school. While Marge teaches her sewing, Homer goes to the mall to buy some magazines for her. There he sees and purchases some expensive shoes known as 'Assassins', which he saw Ned Flanders with earlier, as well as a large cookie.

Marge shows Lisa a patchwork quilt which is a family heirloom. Lisa makes her own contribution to it, but then Santa's Little Helper rips it up, also destroying the shoes and cookie. Homer wants to get rid of the dog, but Lisa convinces them to take it to an obedience school first.

Santa's Little Helper does not do well at the Obedience School as Bart is unwilling to use a choke chain. The night before the final exam, Homer threatens that if Santa's Little Helper fails the exam, he'll have to go, but Bart and Lisa are very upset about this and ask to give the dog another chance. Bart and Santa's Little Helper play, thinking it will be their last few hours together. This bonding breaks down the communication barrier, allows Santa's Little Helper to understand Bart's commands, and to pass obedience school. Lisa marks the occasions by creating a new quilt to replace the one destroyed.
