Trick of the Week: Cross your paws!

[SaraB]

Welcome to week 5 of Trick of the Week! This week's trick is cross your paws! Another good one to teach with targeting, luring or shaping. Good way to teach front paw awareness? I really don't have a good reason to teach this trick other than it's just stinkin cute!

Ready... Set... Go!!

Ugh! I didn't think of that. How about we do crawl instead?

Lol it's fine. We will give it our best shot!

Laura W's corgi Lance can do this. Maybe we can too

Otherwise, Linds had a great idea for an alternative, a little paw dance thing, lifting alternative paws back and forth. It would be adorable!

We already do that, he matches my lifting my legs alternately, so we "march". It is one of my favorites that Frodo does.

If we can't do it then we will figure something out!

What about a front leg hop? Like, both the legs and front/chest in unison hopping from one side to the other. If that makes any sense.

I don't know if he has enough energy for that, LMAO!

I will keep it on the backburner, but I don't give up easily, I want to try the leg cross!

See, Lance can do it:
