Today's Trick(s)
Today, we worked on fine-tuning "A little closer." Harriet already
followed a crooked finger as a signal to come, but now, she understands that it can also mean 1/4-butt-scooch, too. The biggie, though, was teaching her to sit, wait, and take a raised treat on command. The waiting was the hard part, not because she didn't know it, but because I wanted there to be no doubt in her little pea brane that she wasn't to boing into the air to take food without express permission. I don't think I'd try this with a dog who didn't have a soft mouth with treats. Slimy Boxer tongue and lips were disturbing enough, without having teeth involved, too. Sorry, Tuck. (I kid!) Total time and materials: 1/8 cup kibble and 3 minutes. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |
