Some staff from today, back, send around, hold, RT sit-stand, and some mixed quick positions and duration one.

Hold – we started to work on it some time ago, and we need quite a bit of time to build it to that point. It is so interesting to me, as it is so natural for him to hold something in his mouth. However, when I tried to teach him to grab something from the floor, there was so much frustration. And that’s why we still don’t have the learning trick of putting toys in the box.

But we did manage to master rewarding between my legs 😅

Pivoting – okay, for now I won’t worry about the default sit and will prioritize a good position instead. I will see what target fading brings next. We will probably try some RO in the future, although we really have all options open😊

I was also using a rear-foot target because it helped her keep his back legs still. I think I could move it a few centimeters further back for him, or gradually remove it after a few sessions. We haven’t worked on the down/sit transitions yet.

Just for fun, there is also a clip of Casper in between. He is my friends  10 year old dog and until now he hasn’t really done anything in his life. It took us a month just to get him comfortable with the sound of the clicker 😀 and now look how cute he is!

At the end, there is also our NT  in motion.

Don’t worry about the photo — he’s  just a black dog, it takes a good photographer to capture the beauty😊
No worries about the english, lets learn from each other.
So, we managed to film some tricks and we will record more in the coming days. We are traveling to lake Iseo tomorrow for a short hiking holiday, but we will still find some time to practice 😊
