Tricky, Tricks

Some tricks that we have been working on.  Just Dhali.  The first video is from the beg. of last month and the last one is from a week or so ago.  Look at how big he is now!!!  I want to <squeeze> him he's so cute!

I have a bad habit of training WAY too long with him.  Bad momma. He is just so willing to work for a long time and I lose track of the time.  I never had that problem with Tibby!  She would just walk away.  Which I am learning, thank you Leslie McDevitt, isn't such a bad thing to do.

Dhali Rides A Skateboard

This video is a few days old now, but on Monday Dhali learned how to skateboard! He's getting really good now. I just need to work on my treat delivery so he will stay on the skateboard and continue to push. He does stay on and will push for 3-4 feet, but stops when the treats fall on the floor! I'll have to get another video soon. Very cute! The only reason I taught him this was due to my cold, so it was good for something! I was feeling really rotten and Dhali wanted to do something!!! (bark, bark, bark), so I got out the skateboard. I wasn't expecting anything, but first try I got a puppy riding a skateboard! Now Dhali is getting very clicker savy - yesterday we started front paws on a ball/balancing. He saw the ball, looked at me and plopped his paw on the ball - click! This morning he progressed to me not holding the ball still and him trying to balance on the ball with 2 feet.

Pink Princess Skateboard

I was trying to catch Tibby on the skateboard.

Treats, camera and clicker - I need more hands!

And another pair of eyes.

I think Tibby is saying, "You're not the princess, you can't ride the skateboard."
