I NEED to find a small Hoop again. For my Cats (training) I used a large embroidery hoop. I found it for cheap at a Thrift Store.....one of my favorite places to shop for Trick Props.
I had a Black Lab that Played Piano in Sun Glasses....she used to win at Trick Contests doing her Impressions of.....Ray Charles, every one would laugh and clap.....Wait, I would say.....she does another Impression.....Mary, Do Stevey Wonder! After I would sneeze and she would bring me a Kleenex from the box tapped on top of the piano.
I just this morning saw that I have a Toy Piano I picked up, for our cats, at a Thrift Store for $1.......KATY SIZED! So???? Not today, not tomorrow, buy soon. I like to stay on one or two tricks til the animal 'gets it' before moving on to another trick.
This is Mrs. Dillion in beginning training with her hoop.....in costume.
