Trick of the Week: Close the Door!

"Squash has got 'close the drawer' down pretty solid," I thought. "I'll just go ahead and take his 'final' video today," I thought.


BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

In his defense, I think the drawer got stuck.

Everyone needs a Zobby! The downsides are that he needs to run ~10 miles a week, but then he's a lump in the house (I call him a sad potato) and he's dog aggressive/reactive/selective/whatever. Other than that, he's pretty cool.

Isn't he? I love how enthusiastic he is for working... when he wants to work. When he doesn't he just sits there staring at you like, "Naw, it's okay. I don't really feel like hot dogs today." :lol-sign:

ahahahah :rofl1: I love him!

He's getting better!

Yea, he's deliberately closing it now!

But he's still so... delicate and careful about it, which I find adorable. No smashing.

I love how he doesn't go back onto all fours every time.

And I just got around to watching the Squash video--omg. I love his back-talking! He's HILARIOUS. <3

I need a Squash.

I reaaaaaaaally need a camcorder or something.

Sorry for the bad video..Romeo's got this!

lol Way to go, Romeo!!!

Close the Door. He definitely has the general idea. I'm rewarding for the "click" of the door hitting the stop, and I think that cleared up a lot by the end of this session. I'll do it one more time to make sure he definitely gets the idea, then start working up more to a completely open door.

Personal critique: I talk too much sometimes. DO IT DO IT DO EEEEET. I DO try to work him up a bit so it's more fun and happy, because otherwise he gets bored. But I take it overboard a little sometimes. Lol.

Looking back, I see all the times I was looking down and not paying attention when resetting the door and he was closing it on me. Oops.

My final video for this thread. By the end of this video he was closing the door very well. So hopefully tomorrow I can post in the review thread of him doing all three tricks!

Embedding seems beyond me right now, but this link should work.


The munchkin seemed pretty full of it tonight, so I figured we'd give this a try. Picked it up pretty quickly when hot dogs were at stake!

Nice, Lyzelle!

DenoLo, your link isn't working. If you go to the video and click Share, it should give you the right link. Or you can click Embed and copy and paste the code that pops up.
