"Does
Jynx want a treat?" Mali says NO! ;) Jynx & Mali work together on
this one. :) It took them about 3 days of training different elements of
this trick to put it all together. Jynx already knew "platz" (to down)
but I had to teach him to put his head on the floor and keep it there.
Mali knew "sitz" (to sit) and to shake, I just had to keep getting her
to put her left paw on Jynx by getting her to "shake paws" on that side
and then drop her paw on his head and leave it there (I then encouraged
it by marking, then rewarding). She got WAY more "creative" with her
body placement as the training session went on, it was SO hard for me
not to laugh, haha! I am going to work with Mali to only put her paw on
Jynxie's head and not SIT on him as she gets bigger and clean the trick
up a little more, but this is still too cute. Every time they got the
'free' after doing well, they both hit the food jackpot, by the way.
Good job puppies!!!
NOW, I need to think of another trick to teach them. I'm liking them doing tricks together.
