Some new tricks!

Well, Ernie finally learnt to limp! This was one trick that looked completely impossible. I tried so many different methods but they just didn't work. Then I tried training it with him in the heel position, and he finally got it! He really is one very clever little dog.

Indi has also been learning some new tricks. He is learning the 'get your foot' trick and I am starting to teach him some agility aspects. I am starting to get him more confident in jumping over objects. We have also been doing a lot of work on heelwork. Indi has one of the most stunning heels I've ever seen, but only does it when hes in the mood. He is starting to do it more with distractions now, but we still have a long way to go!

Oh and our mini agility field aka the camp site keeps changing everytime we go there! For the past few weeks theres been an extra log that's quite far down and it works well for him to practice his left and right turns on jumps. There was also a stone which I used for him to wrap round before going over the jumps, which made it a bit more interesting. Then today, the logs had changed completely. They were straight with no turns and the extra log had gone. The stones were still there so I could still do wrapping but the logs were in a line so we had a go at him jumping over logs one after the other. He was amazingly fast. He went ahead of me and absolutely loved what he was doing! He definantly preferred it to the turning.
