Our Training Challenge + a Trick

Mom started to use this basket as something for us to go around while working on our following technique, but Tytus ended up having a fun idea and it turned into a new trick.

We ended up compiling a couple of things into this: learning a new trick, practicing our patients challenge -- which we are still working very hard at.  Sometimes we do wonderful and others times we forget and just want to join in the fun.



We even ended up taking the basket along with us on our visit to Cliff View Senior Living and tried it in front of our fans. We need more practice before we try that again in front of them -- although we did get a few smiles and that is what we are there to do.

  1. That looks very cute. I noticed you are using luring to get them to do the trick. Have you teaching the trick using shaping and a clicker. Just curious. Love the music tool

  4. Well done, Tytus and Brutus! Two of you are really amazing at the trick. That's very sweet of you to visit the seniors and I'm sure they're always looking forward to your visiting.

  5. That is sooo cute!!! I love seeing the work and how they were learning and I love the little view of the back feet trying to figure out the best way to get in the basket-FANTASTIC JOB you guys!!! I bet everyone had a pretty big smiles when you took it on the road, what a great idea to take it around the seniors-that would really have a lot of distractions for the dogs
