Skippin Class - But For The Greater Good
Posted on June 11, 2008
we missed class on monday. neil found a stray cat and we had to take it to the emergency animal hospital.
ive been using my lunch breaks to teach liame tricks out of the 101 Dog Tricks book i bough off of amazon (see link above). its a great book because not only does it photographically display step by step on how to guide your dog into doing the tricks but it also has the hand signals for them. we learned “bow” in a single 30 minute session the next day we learned “which hand is the treat in”. some of the tricks in this book are more geared towards adult dogs because they require a great deal of focus, something a 6 month old puppy sorely lacks. unfortunately with most of his training i am still having to lure him into positions because the verbal cue is not enough at this stage (except for sit and down). i know he doesnt have everything down pat yet because sometimes he will go through his repitriore of the tricks he knows until he gets rewarded. its kind of cute to see him try to figure it out and get frustrated.
