We have this little faucet in the backyard with a hole under it. He was dipping his big head and his ball into the water :rolleyes:

Thank you for looking. :]

There's handsome Travis! It looks like you're having fun and smart boy for learning your new trick. :D

Gee, you got some really charming close up face shots here. And Travis sure is having fun, lolling tongue, soaking drippy ball and all. :D

HOW did you teach that trick??!! Lacey has to learn it for RallyO and we are NOT making progress . . . .

Of course, after 7 weeks of Basic Manners, 7 weeks of Beyond the Basics, 4 weeks of Agility and 3 weeks of Rally, she has only 'mastered' the SIT. She is not sure about LIE DOWN and forget anything else! :rolleyes: Recall works when she wants, which is about the 5th time with me wagging the 'treat' all over the place. I guess at age 5, she figures she survived this long without knowing commands, why start now? ;)

I put Travis in a sit at my side. Clipped a short lead on his collar. I then lured him around me and back into position. Clicked the clicker when he cooperated and applied the command 'around'
After a few go's with the lead I simply used a treat to lure him. After a few times with the treat a simple hand signal was enough to get him to do it. :]

Great pics of Travis in action! My dogs love kongs too. :)

He's so adorable! Love the trick. :D

Travis is adorable. He sure looked like he had tons of fun playing with the Kong. And the trick was great! :D

What a handsome boy Travis is! Wow!!
