Pedestal/Pivot

I brought out my trusty hat box soon after I picked Stryker up almost two weeks ago. I successfully taught her to punch it with one foot in a matter of 5 clicks. Hrmph. Brilliant puppy, poor training plan!

I put it away and focused on other tasks for a while. After talking with my great training friend, Kristen, I developed a new training plan.

Tonight I got both feet on the hat box within 10 clicks. I was even able to c/t and return my left hand to my side while she kept her eyes on me. It was just for a split second but I was so proud! We'll have a couple more sessions to build the eye contact in position before I start looking for movement of the rear feet.


Srs puppeh is srs!
