Tricky T-day - Bang!

Yes, I taught my boy to play dead when he gets shot at. He is really cute about it sometimes and doesn't a kind of grumbling groan as he goes down. It isn't perfect in the video, but he tried hard.

This is my first attempt at putting two videos together, so hopefully it isn't too horrific.

Tricky T-day - Roll and 8

I am going to try to get one of these up every week, but it may not happen. Hobbs and I are taking a break from Agility until my rib is completely healed (so close!), and I wanted to teach Hobbs some tricks.

This week we are doing two tricks so that I am forced to teach him a new one this next week. Our first one is pretty easy. "Roll" is a pretty basic one, but it has taken quite a while for Hobbs to be comfortable with losing his balance and rolling. He finally got the idea, and can roll one way pretty consistently. We are still working on the other direction, but he is getting it slowly.

One trick I want to teach him eventually is the backwards weaving through my legs. So, our next trick was the figure 8 through my legs. I was amazed how quickly he caught on to this one. It isn't on a verbal command yet, but that will come soon I think.
