Training Goals for February Update

     Hi, all! I'm doing great in my training goals! Figured I'd show you some of my training when it was "in progress", so you can get the full effect when I show you my finished videos next Monday. Here you go:

                                                        Back Up:

                                                       If you can't see the video, view it here


                                        Stop!:

                                  Pick it up/hold it

      Mom kind of shoved pick it up/hold it on the back burner for most of the month, and we're scrambling to get it down before I show y'all on Monday! In the video you're mostly seeing the pick it up aspect of it, as Mom's teaching pick it up and hold it as separate behaviors at first.

     Now I need your ideas! I need 1 more cue to learn for March's challenge, and I want some feedback. What I will be doing:
Cover your eyes/shame!
Balance on a yoga ball
Take a bow
Fading out the yogurt lid on my shut a door trick

The cues I already know:
sit
down
stay
come
up
off
leave it
over
high five
fist bump
shake hands
spin (counterclockwise)
let's go (basically a loose heel on either side)
bang
move your ass
bedtime (go under the covers)
which hand?
go find!
where's your ball?
touch (both hand and an object)
give kisses
look here/focus

     Only requirement is no sit pretty/beg type tricks, as they're very stressful on Dachshund backs.

Kisses and Tail Wags,
Dachshund Nola
