Update on Chief

Well I haven't been here in a while so I thought I'd update you guys on Chief's progress.

When I last posted Chief knew: sit, lay, stay, come, leave it, drop it, and off.

Well I taught him a few tricks: Shake, speak, heel, and roll over. He is so smart when he isn't stubborn lol Anyways, I am doing NILIF with him and I'm working on teaching him "back" and "forward". He does good on "back" but forward seems trickyer.

I fattened him up some lol he still seems to be a bit skinny, but I think it's just cause we run together alot. Only when it's cool enough though, I promise!

Hmm......I should get some pics and post them later.
I hope everyones had fun this summer.

Congrats to Chief for all he's learning! Can't wait to see the updated pics!

wow he's quite the clever dog! Roll over is one i have never taught..how'd you do it?

Looking forward to those photos! You and Chief are doing great work

Teaching Teddy roll over is hazardous to my health His legs are longer than my arms and i have to get too close to him and i always get scratched lol so yes how did you teach yours to roll over.

Sorry I'm still working on the pictures.....it's too early right now.

To tell you the truth I think someone already taught (or at least started teaching him) speak and heel. He got those two really quickly!

But for roll over I had him lay down. Then I used a super yummy treat (He loves chicken ) and I put it to the left side of his head. when he tried to turn his head to get it I moved it up and around (over the top of his head) and he sorta twisted to get the treat. It took me a while to get a good movement I guess, but eventually he went over to his side and then I used the treat to get him to turn his head more and made it so it was really close to his mouth where he would think "only a little further and I'll get it!" LOL and I just continued moving it around his body so he twisted all way around.

To get the idea I used this site.....it has a nice little video of the dog doing it, Even though you can tell the dog has been doing it for awhile...lol.
roll over

[edit]I just posted some pics of Chief.
I figured if I put it in a new thread it would be easier for people to see them without having to scrool. [edit]
