Well we got our first real "attention" toy for Freckles yesterday to begin training for the great outdoor games jumping contest. I am sure many of you have seen this on television. In fact it was just on the other day. hehe We picked a long rope with a tire connected to it. Along with this we are going to our first agility and flyball demonstration this Sunday. Whoo hoo!Freckles has got some great drive and I really feel she will excede in these type of sports. I am VERY excited about the great outdoor games though. Training takes a long time. We will start training in the pool and then gradually take her out furthur into the lake to train there.
We've also been working on her clicker training and so far she knows the following tricks:
Shake (left and right paw)
High Five
Sit
Sit Stay
Down
Roll Over
Speak
( I forgot come LOL)
and we are working on Bang, as in playing dead.OOOH another REALLY COOL trick I taught her is "eyes", where I get her to look into my eyes. All I have to do is say "eyes" and she looks me right in the face. It's a great way to get your dogs attention. I will try to get some videos of her performing her treats, but I am not sure exactly how to get videos on here so if anyone could help me out that would be great.
