Tricks, Play and 2o2o

Two videos from last Monday.  First Dhali's first time trying to learn 2o2o.  Also in the middle there is a quick little bit of the new trick I taught him.  I point at a foot and he lifts it.  I LOVE how he doesn't get frustrated and give up - he just keeps on trying!  Even when he stops and barks at me, then he will come back and try again.  Usually after a bark break something clicks and he'll do whatever I'm asking for.   This week the foot trick has progressed to a full wave with both feet and next I want to try to get him to drum - he's done it a couple times by accident.  Also his sit up is getting better.
Tibby has been watching him learn this foot trick and now she tries to offer it too :P  They're smart.

2nd video is of us playing with a roll of painter's tape.  He likes to chase it and tug on it.  It was the first thing I could get him to chase and bring back when he was a puppy.  It rolls really nicely and fast, which he likes.

Tibby's 2on2off - So Proud!

Part of our homework this week for the Silvia Trkman puppy class is 2on2off. I want to train Tibby to do stopped contacts anyway. This is Tibby's very first time doing 2on2off. We tried one time on our steps at home, but I didn't understand what was going on, so it didn't really work. At our lesson Michelle showed me one way to teach 2on2off (plunk dog in position), but I like this method better. My dog is so smart!!! Sorry! Tibby just makes me so proud! (sometimes hee hee)
