whatevah Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Sounds like you are going great. Some tricks require much longer than a week to teach. Sometimes you can give the dog a break and then go back to the trick. The spins sounds really fantastic. Next trick I am thinking about putting up is some targetting both (nose) and (paw), so stay tuned. I am quite happy with the posts, mainly positive and everybody sounds like they are having fun.

Clicking Mad Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Ok, another update: (just another chance for me to go on about how much fun I am having trick training my dogs really ) Texas does the "spin" with a finger hand signal. His multiple "pirouettes" have worked out really well. I have been walking them separately a few days a week and adding a few tricks along the way so it isn't so boring to walk by my side and not go to the park this trip, sorta thing. His "pirouettes" on lead have been a little more difficult than I expected they would be for him, as he was reliably walking and pirouetting by my side off lead, I think it might get in the way, so I have been doing a lot of leading him with my hand to get him moving, and moving a little around in front of him. He tends to sit, maybe because I used to always ask for it from him being in a sitting position since he first learnt it? (*sorry ... poor sentence structure*) Jamie does the walking on lead and pirouette by my side with no major problems, the first few times tended to be a little confusing but she quickly moved beyond that. I haven't tried out the "spin" the other way with her yet, keep forgetting. Chester too, has no problem doing this on lead by my side. And it is great for getting his walk by my side back in line, when he gets a little too far ahead, he is more willing to pay attention than walk, walk, walk, "ha ha I'm walking ahead of you, we'll go this way yeh?" When I add a cue here and there as we are walking he is much more willing to give me attention, just in case he might miss an opportunity for a reward Haven't done the "spin" the other way with him yet either. That's it for the "pirouette". Keep up the tricks. Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiecuddles Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sascha is great doing clockwise but not anti-clockwise, she gets confused, goes halfway and hen comes back again. We are having trouble getting her to do it at a distance but we'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
