Our New Trick

Do you use a clicker? Not Shelly, but I taught both my dogs by luring and clicking, and then adding an "under" cue. Both of them only know how to go under my right leg, though, as I never taught the other leg, so we don't do the walking and weaving thing. I didn't use a clicker, just the word, "Thru" and a small tidbit of treat in both hands (One to guide from front, the other to "pull out" from the back--yes, I'm sure I looked like a total idiot trying to do it!). Luring, I suppose you can call it that, but no free hand for clicking--which is how I wanted to do it. How would this be useful for agility? I was thinking along limbering up exercises. Sort of like doing practice swings. Shelly & The Boys |
