Im so proud of her!

[Cob-Web]

No Im not because we are not attending clicker training!  I dont think they would be too happy if we turned up clicking lol

Don't see why not if it gets results

Maybe she just needs to learn one paw first.  Do you know which is her dominant paw?  The one she paws with/the way she turns when she runs in a circle or to retrieve something?  Start with the dominant paw first, because she will find that easier?

HEHE she can do it weve cracked LEFT she is perfect! Now onto right before tomorrow night! Liver in oven cooking away! Smells good (to Maudie anyway) what an incentive!!!!!

[Shelley]

Well done you .... Think I might have to teach Tia to shake her paw now

[sportsmonki]

Congratulations!

Glad she worked it out 

[lolajays]

Welkl she was fab at training! displayed left and right beautifully! Such a clever girly

[Elisa]

Well done Maudie! 

Can you come round and teach Harvey.  He isn't getting "paw" at all    Bailey cracked it in about 10 mins and can give left paw, right paw and hi 5, but we have been trying to teach Harvey for about 4 weeks now  , and he just stares at us completely blank 

[Top Barks]

Way to go you guys!!!

[lolajays]

One small drawback! What to learn trick wise for next week! Any ideas? and quick lol! We are practising everything as next week is our last week of puppy training then we are onto bronze! So test time next week. Special practice going into sit wait and recall! But he wants another trick arrrrggggghhhhh how about both! as in left right and both? Oh I dont know lol!

[sportsmonki]

Congratulations! 

Are there any behaviours maudie does naturally/easily...like walking backwards, jumping in the air, rolling on her back, etc?  Or would she follow your hand to learn to weave between your legs?

That might be a good place to start if it is a behaviour she is already doing/offering.

Storm learnt one cool trick when I was messing around with a piece of food trying to get her to walk go backwards instead of forwards in her distance control.  She was trying everything (except walking backwards) and at one point leapt straight up in the air.  So I said 'yes' and treated her, because it was quite cute.  She remembered it...but still doesnt really understand walking backwards...lol.

What about teaching her to spin. Tilly does this naturally so I clicked and rewarded her for it and now she'll do it on command... except when I tried to get her to show Elisa on our walk last week and she just stood and looked at me

Ok Maudie passed her puppy class on wednesday with full marks! She chewed up her rosette  Im so proud because they said she is so good! We start our bronze GCA in two weeks time. The guy who takes part of our class used Maudie to demonstrate some of the things we will need to do for the bronze award and she did them perfectly slight shock on my behalf tho!.
Anyway thought I would share our success! 

[sportsmonki]

Congratulations!  Great to hear that she is doing so well.

Good Luck for your bronze, but it sounds like you are most of the way there to passing already
