Growling Challenge

The next challenge will be to teach your dog to growl on command.  Bonus points if you can get your dog to do this without wagging his tail the whole time like Kep does!

Limping

Whenever we get this challenge going again I always re-discover how much I enjoy training my dog.  Ok well honestly we had one very very frustrating night with this trick, and I thought he would never get it, but the next day it totally clicked and it was much more fun to work together!

Here goes Kep with his limp...of course we are also still working on the whole moving forwards thing! This is day 2 of training this behaviour.

I will post the next challenge in a day or two when I get a chance to film it.


P.S. I definitely need to get better at filming these tricks.  The camera is either too close, or I'm blocking it, etc.  Will try and be better in future :)

Limping Challenge

This took way too long (again!) and I don't actually have video evidence of Ryan hugging the cone, so you'll have to take my word for it. New challenge is limping! Bonus points if you can get your dog moving forward instead of back and forth like Ryan...

Next challenge

Sorry Jess,you and the boys took too long to put up a new trick!

So here is my first debut on the Challenge Blog!

This is ridiculously simple, but Beezer and I just did it in agility class while waiting for our turn.

Beezer "hugging" a cone.

For the challenger, you can use anything you want to hug, just as long as it's a little slippery.

Here goes nothing!

Ok so this is our attempt to complete the challenge. I shot a couple clips so you can really see him crawling.

Assuming this counts, the next challenge is on its way. Got a few ideas in mind so just gotta perfect one of them before I reveal it!

Give up?

Alright folks, it should not take this long to teach a crawl! ;-)

Crawl challenge

So, I know this is a fairly popular one. If you already have a dog that knows this trick...use the other dog! If all your dogs know it, put a variation on it ie. crawling away from you or crawling for a really long distance.
