Okay, I wasn't going to do this until I saw how incredibly cool everyone's dogs are. Now I'm jealous. I'm not sure I'll get Gusto actually perching on ME, because I do value my life, but we had a good time this evening playing with a bucket, and given the incredibly cold weather in store this week...well, who knows where it will go.
He had a wee bit of trouble shaping it to begin with; he is quite convinced that only his back feet are supposed to go on things! He actually finally got it by putting his back feet on, and then adding his front feet, rather than the other way.
Forgot to turn the flash off...
His sit pretty (the command is actually perch!) was easy for him once he figured out how to get up.
I'm really tempted to drag my rocking horse in from the garage, but I'm not sure if Gusto is THAT cool.
