Laddie has been doing 'place' (Peekaboo) so well that I thought I'd add a bit more difficulty and teach him to walk along in that position. It will be very handy for him to do this in the barnyard as a protective measure against getting rammed while he's little. Place walk (Aka Peekaboo, Novice+?), crawl (Novice), where's the treat (Novice) (As with all the video links, once video opens in new page, click on it to see full vid) Wait 1 (from a distance) Jan 26/18 I don't normally repeat commands, but this was the first time I've had him wait at the top of the steps without another proofed dog there as an example, and it's only the third time I've ever asked him to wait there at all. So at 14.5 weeks of age, and with distractions, from a distance, and all alone with very little training specific to that particular spot, I felt it would be beneficial to remind him a couple of times. He amazed me <3 Wait 2 (from a distance) & come Feb 2/18 It doesn't seem like much of a wait, but he had to wait there the entire time I walked backwards away from him prior to videoing. It was originally taken during a snowstorm at -27*, with my Sunnyside FB audience in mind hence the snow depth commentary, lol. Up On (from a distance) Feb 3/18

I just wanted to note for some of the following videos where my videographer didn't capture my upper body, I'm using my hands for signals & direction, but I'm not using lures: Open & Close door 1, Jan 27/18
Back up Jan 27/18 (I was *way* off on my marker on this one :( )
Directional Casting Feb 3/18 (at -36* wind chill, lol )
Anyway, thanks for your time & hope there's enough there! Update... He earned his Intermediate Trick Dog Title!!
Wahoo!!! I'll post when his certificates arrive :)
