Default What are you working on?

Anybody working on anything with their dogs?

I've been wanting to teach Jackson a handstand FOREVER. It's a trick that does take some time and patience, and gradually add steps.

So this is our 3rd night working on the trick, getting him some rear end awareness (as I don't think he had any idea he even HAD back legs, LOL)... and I'm pleasantly surprised how quickly he picked it up and I've added 3 books (well, one of the things is a makeup case) already. Eventually I hope to be able to have him able to do this against a wall, a tree, etc, and then turn it into a walking handstand.

Halfway thru the video a song starts because my little sister was singing her heart out and I assume you don't wanna hear that

Another I've been wanting to teach forever is cross paws. You can see here that I add a tiny piece of paper... for some reason it's been hard for him to lure out the target. I started teaching him how to target something bigger, then just started using a piece of paper, and I had to put it back because I could tell he was getting confused.

Oh little sister was singing in this one too LOL...
