Well, i am improving on my Clicker training and not hating it so much. Lady is fighting tooth and nail - literally you should see my arms - not to roll over in the blanket. She is on board for the second class, which is Foundations for Success, a great class, but I see more Shaping Behaviors in her future. One thing that happened was I was suppose to be training her on "nudging" a ball and Lady started to put her paw on it, so now we know how to "touch" things. It is really cute. Brianna brought her dogs over yesterday and I was giving a demonstration and asked her to touch Ari (poodle mix) and she did, it is a pretty cute trick. Lady is also perfecting her "line up", hand bump, "go", the box game etc.
During the roll-over exercises, I have Lady fighting me all the way and our old dog Maggie performing the trick behind us to get the treat. Maggie is the one receiving the reward in this scenario. I know Lady will get this trick one day, but probably not by the end of our class. Despite it all, I will not give up, if anything it makes me more determined! The dog can weave six posts now and I was sure she would never succeed. Pereerverance!
