Staranais Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yes, I know it's tempting fate to teach her to limp after she's just got the all clear after the shoulder surgery, but anyhow... She will hold up a front paw on request for a few seconds (although it's more like a repeated paddle than a static hold). She's also happy to target her front paw to my hand and then hop around the room with me holding her front paw up, but insists on putting lots of weight on me as she does so. So far we're unable to progress that into her holding her paw up as she limps. Has anyone else taught this? I'm thinking of introducing a target stick since then she can't put as much weight on it, but any other suggestion or tips would be welcome.

gila Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Oohh I'd be interested to hear people's suggestions too! We haven't been able to progress beyond standing on three legs either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
