We were practicing stacking tonight. We are mainly focusing on him standing on command and right now he is getting up from a sit into a stand. He still won't get up from a down into a stand though. And unless you repeat "Stand" to him he will try to sit unless he has something to focus on. We are now using a tennis ball. We have successfully switch him from being treat motivated to being ball motivated. Which is a lot better for my fingers. No more knawing my fingers as he tries to get the deer meat. Now he just focuses on the ball waiting for me to toss it. Not perfect pictures or stacks but pretty good attempts for 5 months old I think. Esspecially for beginners like us.
We also got some head shots. I am going to start taking pictures in the morning light though. Because if we don't use the flash then his beautiful white coat does not show up properly. If we do use the flash then he gets the spots in his eyes. This is when we are taking pictures in the evening.
We also took his measurement and he is 22inchs tall and about 50LBS. So right on track I think. Hope you enjoy.
