Trick of the week!

Lincoln looks great! I love how calm he is. What is it like not to worry about getting punched in the face by your dog practicing this?

Woo! Kimma's got it. I wasn't even going to tape this session thinking it would be more bridging between luring/capturing, but she did it a couple of times right off the bat so I grabbed the camera

Small brag but Beau taught himself to sit up years ago. It's his default trick for everything.

Here's an two old videos of him doing it.

Yay Kimma! I love how she reaches and stretches with her front paws so much. Also I adore her bark, it's so cute.

I think it's because "wave" has become one of her default tricks LOL. So she just kind of did that but now that she has had some use of those core muscles, it translated in to her sitting up while waving

I love her barks and noises, too. She's hilarious to train.

Aside from the trick, I love how Kimma moves. She's so quick, like a little bird or something.

She's like REALLY fast. Almost spastic sometimes HAHAHA. I think that's why people love watching her in agility. It's like you wouldn't expect such quick reactions from her for some reason, and that makes her fun to watch.

Kimma is adorable, and reminds me of Ozzy, so I could never have a Finkie lol

Bwahahaha not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing

Oh Ozzy's awesome, he's just very vocal lol, and has that same bark.

Not a bad thing, I just don't want another dog with that type of bark, lol.

Ahhhh yes. That makes sense

I'm weird - I love vocal dogs. T is so quiet it's freaky sometimes.

I feel like I'm being clumsy and inconsistent with her. But she's coming along anyway.

Abby is so cute!! I love the chuck-it target stick, and I love the idea of targeting this behavior. Very cool.

Lincoln looks great! Awesome core strength.

Awesome job with Kimma! I love it when they just randomly pick up on it. Latent learning for the win.

Maisy looks fabulous. I love how she's built, I want more videos of her!

I wonder if I should get an updated video of Beau tomorrow

Silly girls.

Oh, they look fantastic!

Here's Zuma's progress. I feel like this is going to take forever. She can hold a sit up on an exercise ball for quite some duration without a problem, but is still struggling on my feet. I did notice that if my feet arn't completely level, she struggles more, so I'll have to be aware of that as we continue to work on it (see!! videos are super important for training!).

I think I need to go back to kindergarten.

I like how they sit there and hold it like "no big deal, we could do this all day." I think Juno will forever be unsteady and limited to short durations.

No video but just worked with the Froman again. Switched off a lure and onto a hand signal/verbal.

Whether it's from a sore core or him just being a brat he keeps trying to get away with just bouncing his front feet on the ground quick. Not gonna work buddy, you're gonna have to actually do some work here
