I try and do a little with my dogs every day, sometimes just going over things they know quite well making it a bit better and sometimes working on a specific trick.
A training sesh is usualy about 5-10 min per dog and I tend to structure it like this
a couple of mins doing stuff they know quite well
a couple of mins working on a new trick
a couple of mins working on stuff they already know
We also have a great 'Do something' where I ask them to do something and every different trick they do gets a treat - like the lazy mans free shaping :D
Sometimes I get a bit lazy and we dont focus on anything new for a while, but then I have a wee nozy at some blogs or you tube and I get inspired to do something again.
The latest trick I found that I have been working on for a wee while came from here
So whats your latest trick??
Hello there...good to hear from you. Loving your new felted dogs esp the wrinkly old man :O)
