Kaige learned a new trick...

rollover. After 3, 5-10 minute sessions he knows how to rollover! Well he knew how to after the 2nd or 3rd time I showed him how but I still had to be sitting on the ground, now he really knows it, I can be standing or what ever.
I tried, I really did to get some pics of him rolling over but he's so fast, I either ended up with just his butt or head or the before & after pic. So this will have to do until I get some better shots. (I didn't want to push it by making him do 20 more rollovers. lol)

Here he is right before a roll over:

And right after:

What a smart pup!

How did you train him to roll over? Did you direct him with a treat until he went over?

Pretty much. I had him lay down with most of his weight leaning into one side or the other (like his first pic. where he is leaning towards the right), then with one hand I held a treat and slowly moved it up & around him, like in a circle then at the same time with the other hand I gently pushed his feet up in the air then I gently pushed his body over too while saying "roll over" at the same time. (holy run on sentance lol)

Good job Kaige! Does he have a certain direction that he rolls over on every time? Its weird, Kyra has always rolled to the left and Jack to the right, I was just wondering what the little man is...I have also tried to get action shots...it doesn't work out so well. Anyway, Kaige is so cute, look at that face of concentration
