Can I just brag for one sec on Pepper? She's FOUR. I didn't do any clicker training with her when she was here before. I just started using the clicker with her here now. And she is picking up on this like lightning. At first I thought I was just clicking and clicking for backwards movement but she wasn't paying enough attention to start "getting" it, just sniffing around for treats... then I brought her out for the second round and it was obvious she was intentionally moving backwards. So yes, yes, she did get it. I'm just amazed by her brain.
Auggie and I had a two minute stare-down by the way. He remembers this trick but his new-found frantic dancing has taken over and rather than just stepping backwards he wants to dance backward and then dance and dance and then sit. I really hate this stupid frantic dancing stuff. I would like to trade the stupid frantic dancing for Payton's randomly offering a bajillion things at once please.
