Dogs

Got a good training sesh in. Still working on “clean up”. Been begging human to teach me something new but she needs inspo. Can someone give her ideas?

Presenting: sit (my default setting), paw, other paw, down, leave it, and wait.

I can also do "off" (mostly used when I get too excited and jump when I'm not supposed to) and directional spinning (shown earlier this week).

Now I do a wee little eeps.

So cute!! Very impressed with the leave its. Human would appreciate it if you could teach me your ways.

black and tan chuggle, accepting bellyrubs 💅, will do tricks for 🧀

Human here. We started small! First with the treat in my hand (palm up) and telling her to "leave it". If she tried to take it before I released her by saying "okay", I'd correct her by saying no and taking the treat away and try again. If she didn't immediately go for the treat, she'd get a lot of praise and the treat. Once she got really good at it with the treat in my hand, we made it harder by putting it on her paw instead or on the ground by her nose. It took a lot of patience but it's pretty simple!
