RE: Thank DOG It's Friday!
How cool is that! Balancing a ball on his snout is awesome!!!! And playing dead :D Thats some awesome training you did there. How's you do it?
The snow will melt soon, it's already on its way bit by bit.
haha..yea. It took a long time for them to get the idea. lots of treats and patience. small dogs are a pain to train, your dog is most likely much smarter. lol.
Piper has no patience to even have a treat touch her snout. That is a hard training. I've slowed down on it. Something I am not doing right cause she's not having it lol. She's smart but my small dog is also smart and uncanny. Most dogs can be by what I have seen so far :p
I basically held the ball there for about 10 seconds with one hand while pulling the other away, then pulled the ball off and gave him a treat .. saying "good boy". I did that several times a day for about a month. Slowly I would try leaving the ball there while moving my hand away and he just stayed there until i said good boy. he knew he was getting a treat at that point.
Good luck!
Cool! I'll try that! Thanks
