Tricks and Training

I am so jealous of your Genius-Puppy!!! Great job training, she's going to be amazing.

Here it is . . . and Stuck, too

Couple random things we worked on this week!

100% shaped spin, no luring! Now we need to go the other direction.

Wave! Next is to get both paws up, she keeps falling over though so we'll see how that goes. :rofl1:

LOVE. Zinga is freaking adorable. And just so you know, when you said "good girl" in the first one Mu sat up (she's laying on the tile) gave me her VERY MOST OFFENDED look and then flopped back over. :rofl1:

And I forgot to say earlier but I love Trav's pee trick. If Murphy didn't actually pee on everything already I would be very tempted.

I'm waiting for Murphy's video to process. This is what I get to see while I'm waiting.

Greta's doing hard time for barking like a nutcase at Mu (after being told off for being obnoxious). HURRY UP YOUTUBE.

SUCCESS.

This is Murphy's leg walking trick. I was going to do leg weaves but I think this is much cuter. This is after....maybe 4 or 5 sessions? I'm really just adding distance and turns.

So much adorableness happening in that video!! Love how you guys are walking in step.

So Murphy is the most adorable dog ever. Seriously. And I love his walking in time with you! He's doing so good!

So here's Didgie's crawl! We're getting it on cue today, this was from yesterday.

We started shaping Paw today, it's not as cute as Zinga's but it's something!

And we started pivoting alone today and she's doing pretty good!

So, is that leg walking or Xtreme heeling?

Nothing special but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VKTTTw74JI&feature=plcp

Thanks guys! He's so stinking much fun to work with. And I didn't even realize we were walking in step...I'd really like to pretend that I did that on purpose. LOL.

Hahaha! I wish we had any sort of heel so I could call it Xtreme heeling!!

We shaped a roll over last night. Her random head flip thing is coming in handy to shape all these new behaviors! Don't mind my random weird stare at the camera, I was making sure she was still in the frame. LOL

Awww, I love seeing puppies in training. Sooo clumsy and adorable. Zinga picked it up fast!

I have major Koolie-want-ness right about now after viewing this thread, Lol. Zinga and Didgie are about the cutestest puppies ever.

Murphy is such a ham, what a guy!

OMG. I have to teach this!

(sorry I'm like all over the place - just catching up on this thread).

Just so I have something to add to the thread besides my "omg so cute"... here's the last video I made of all of Jackson's tricks, except he knows a few others that weren't included, and has learned some new ones since (this was Feb. 2011). I'm getting so many ideas from this thread.

Love Jackson's walking on your feet trick!! Very cute!!

We did a few training sessions today....

After starting this thread: http://chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167431


I really wanted to get started with frisbee. And since he's soooo food motivated, I decided to bring food back into it, at least for now - to try and get him catching the frisbee.

This is obviously the very very early steps. I just want him to learn "come around" first of all, so he can get into a good position for when I start throwing. So you'll hear that in the beginning (sorry, I now realize how annoying I am saying it over and over again - I'm glad I videoed myself, I can learn so much, LOL)

Then I sat on a chair and tried to get him to jump, because eventually I'd love for him to do mini leg vaults possibly, and then at the very end, I got him to get on my back (which he knows how to do but he was being a butt about it today).

So anyways excuse my appearance, today is my "stay home" day, and we are in the basement where it's freezing hence my sweatshirt, LOL...

And his new favorite trick - backwards circles. I purposely repeat myself with this one, because it seems to make him go faster haha.

Oh my gosh I am going to steal Jackson!!! How cute is he!

I'll have to put something together with Liberty this evening...he's smart I'm just not good at teaching! But this thread is awesome!

(Maybe I can even get Bailey to learn something other than 'sit')

Finally found my video cam so I could video Z's newest trick: jumping rope. Next, we might go for double dog, double dutch.

Ok, I feel like I have a million things to teach now!!! I always feel a bit lost for what next, but omg there is so much.

And Jackson................... I want.
