Chazer's Newest Trick

[helen]

We have been doing a tricks class, this is Chazer's best trick he has learnt, also I think the hardest thing I have taught a dog before. Richard Curtis does it in his crufts routine from this year where he was a painter

Thanks for posting the vids Helen - will have a play with that with my guys (but making sure I don't have shiny shoes ;) - no real risk of that

haha Tassie. if you want a list of different tricks/videos look at this site http://www.dogmantics.com - we had to pick a trick from that website, a friend of instructor demonstrated a few tricks including this one and as soon as I saw it I knew that was what I wanted to teach Chazer. He had never done any foot targeting before so it was a big learning curve.

ETA - now he thinks any targeting should be done with his feet, not with his nose
