Count you put a paw movement on a small hand cue and you say what 3 the 2 and you move you hand cue and the dog paws until you stop the cue.
I am ashamed is a little change from say your prayers where the dog puts it feet on your arm and tucks its head under your arm. or it can be a chair and it tucks it head between its leg.
Targeting is when you use a long stick called a target stick ( karen Pryors web site has them or use a wooden spoon) and the dog touches the end. with it you can teach a dog to go in and out and figure eight your legs and to pick it up and bring it back to you and put things in your lap. Follow the stick.

We took a class at Petsmart and they taught me how to do the tricks Joey does, they even had us make a target stick, but I didn't know that was the name for it. He does touch the black end with his nose, and he'll follow it when I use it, but it seemed a lot like my hand, so I stopped using it. Thanks, I really like the counting, idea, and we can work on that, but I think Joey only sneezed a couple of times when I was grooming him and some hair fell on his face. I guess I could try that again.
