Kavik Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 OK I need some new ideas on tricks/behaviours I can train inside while the temperature is 30+ like today I would love to get some more ideas for shaping, so I can improve with it. I do some already (mostly targetting stuff for agility and obedience) but do still find it frustrating at times. So feel free to add your ideas here and we can share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seita Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You could work on scent stuff - scent discrimination or seek back type things. I can't think of anything else sorry! That's what I've been working on while its hot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm not up to scent stuff with Diesel and I'm doing agility with Kaos so no scent stuff there I guess I could try teaching article indication for Diesel's tracking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Back end awareness on telephone books. Retrieve using the Shirley Chong method. Targeting. Work on start line waits. Or do what I am doing - lots of drinking on the verandah and no training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 What are you trying to do .. make me feel guilty? It's nowhere near 30 here, but quite warm for Tassie, and there's a horrible warm wind blowing - not nice to be outside, say the dogs, who are both sound asleep inside. Anyway ..... there are some articles on Melissa Alexander's Clicker Solutions site here that may give you some ideas. NOw to get myself motivated, and wake up the dogs ......... or perhaps not .

ness Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Tassie - I'll send you mine its warm today and yet both are eager as anything for some strange reason. I went downstairs to see what the pair were barking at and I was bombarded with tug toys for varying descriptions from both dogs.

kelpiechick Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Or do what I am doing - lots of drinking on the verandah and no training Now THAT sounds like a plan We're working on the verandah with '101 things to do with a ladder, perch and jump bump.' The video is coming soon, as is the T Shirt ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 KC - is that t shirt along with the CR addicts or agility addict t shirts we were talking about previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiechick Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 KC - is that t shirt along with the CR addicts or agility addict t shirts we were talking about previously Sure is - I'll have a website full of them at this rate - along with the ones that say 'only one course fault and always something different every time' and 'obstacle out of order queen!'

RubyStar Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 It's been insanely hot in Perth the past couple of weeks so I've been working on scent discrimination and send aways with Ruby in the house. Not much room in here to work on heelwork which is what I really wanna focus on with trials coming up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Zero and I have been working on backend awareness (with a plastic crate rather than phonebooks because Zero is terrible at doing it on phonebooks!), a couple of other tricks like beg (he sucks at keeping his balance), dead dog (so he lies on his side) and shaking/nodding his head and we're also working on his heeling position in the hall, and his retrieve.

Jigsaw Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 What about training to put things in a basket/bin? Take your socks off! Leg weaves! I got a Dog Tricks book for Christmas - can you tell?lol Dog Tricks by Mary Ray, Justine Harding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsD Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) OK I need some new ideas on tricks/behaviours I can train inside while the temperature is 30+ like today What do you mean when it's 30+ - I do all my training inside no matter what the weather . you can train just about any trick in the house, same as the retrieve, send away, presents in front for recall/retrieve, back end awareness as others have mentioned - it's almost limitless :rolleyes: .
