This morning, Zane started learning to unroll a rolled up yoga mat. Silly trick, but I want him to start getting a little "pushier" with his nose. So we'll be doing lots of pushing tricks.
We also went to the park (a new one) for obedience work. He did well on what I asked, although I still see some chewing of the dumbbell. And he did three outdoor searches out there. Sometimes it's hard to tell when he's working a scent and when he's just sniffing. Must learn to read the boy.
Last night, Beth watched the video and we were doing it wrong. But she had a great suggestion for what we were doing - use two toys - toss to reward TOTO, then send him back over. We'll try it.
She showed me what she originally was trying to tell me. We went out this evening to try it. It, uh, didn't go so well. I don't think Zane has the coordination yet to handle it. Remember, he's only 8 months (almost 9 months!) and still very leggy, and as a friend says, he's put together with rubber bands. He ended up falling off the dogwalk in a very scary way. And of course, it scared the &*%^ out of both of us. Here it is in all our glory.
And here's Bella learning to do it. You can see she has some trouble maintaining her grip a couple of times until she learned how to make a straighter approach.
