Hi y’all! I’m filling up for Fiona (hope you feel better by the way, sending good vibes) So I picked roll over for this week challenge. The video quality is not great as it was dark and I couldn’t put my phone away from the light but I’ll try to do a better one! I only have Dagny’s demonstration as Aksel is still learning and my phone cut Harper’s because of a lack of storage but I want to say it was Dagny first time trying it and she nailed it after a few tries ! If it’s too hard for your dog, know that you can stop at step 3 and you’ll learn how to make a dog lay on its side which can be a useful trick when needing to be handled. You first have to find a good surface to work on. We worked on a hard surface because it’s flat and they roll over everywhere anyway, plus nothing would be stuck in there faces or hairs, but you have to be careful that they are not too crazy which could result in them hitting the ground too hard. In that case I’d recommend a soft surface or even grass but be careful that it is not too uneven and that there’s nothing that could hurt them (piece of stick, glass, snake,…) You’ll need a dog and treats for this trick Step 1 Have your dog in a down position. Let me know if I need to explain more on this one. Step 2 You’ll need to lure them so that their hips roll to one side. To achieve this you’ll start with your hand to their nose and lure their head to one side so that it makes a 90° angle with their body. They should roll on their hips on the opposite side. Step 3 You’ll need to make them lay on their side. To achieve this you either have to continue to lure their head towards their body like tou want a 180° angle and push lightly towards them so they have to fall to the side or make them look up and push lightly towards them so they have to fall back.This will make them lay on their side. If you stop here, bring back their head towards you in its natural position and reward. If not keep going with the movement and step 4 Step 4

Hi everyone. Hope you are all well. So sorry for being MIA. It has been a full on few weeks. Unfortunately we lost our old Abby 😢 We also have little foster puppies and I had to dive deep to finish my MVP assignments. I will be going on holiday overseas and back into training mid January. Feel free to keep using this space to connect or jump back in after the holidays. @Anaelle Billaud has created a lovely challenge for us if you want to check it out 😊

I was planning to set a challenge last weekend but I've been in bed with flu. If someone else wants to volunteer hopefully I will be back to normal soon.
