(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Heidi Klum's baby daughter is training the family dogs.

The German model raises four children with husband Seal - Leni, seven, Henry, five, Johan, four, and 20-month-old daughter Lou.

Heidi's young brood have recently begun training their two new German shepherd dogs. The 38-year-old beauty explained her youngest is having the most fun teaching the new family pets how to "sit".

"They're showing them how to sit!" she told US Weekly "Lou says, 'Freddy sit. Freddy sit. Freddy sit, sit, sit!' She says that all day long!"

Lou is following in the footsteps of her singer dad and likes to perform. Despite her creative nature however, Heidi insists she is very reserved and likes to "observe" the actions of her older siblings.

"[She] likes to dance, but she's very observant," Heidi explained. "She's very quiet. Like at the dinner table, she's not loud. The other kids are very loud and she kind of sits there and watches everyone. She's kind of sponging everything up, and I know she's memorising everything - it's going to come out soon!"

Heidi wants to open her kids' eyes to the world around them. She's adamant they should appreciate the luxuries they have, because not everyone is so lucky.

"Growing up in Beverly Hills, you live in a bubble," she explained. "So New York is great because you see a different way of living. They see people living on the streets and they ask a lot of questions. I'm honest with them and I tell them that not everyone lives the same way. Not everyone has a garden. Not everyone has a maid.

"I try not to overwork their little brains on subjects that maybe they shouldn't know about yet, but when they ask I tell them the truth." (C) Cover Media
