Today, I’ve taught my dog to touch a target (a colorful lid) with her PAW, on command. She knows many tricks (the basics, of course, like sit and stay, but also, jump in the air on command, turn, roll, slalom between my legs as I’m walking, touch my hand with her nose, bark and shut up on command, things like that. (Yes, I taught her to bark on command so I could also teach her to be quiet on command…) 😊 But touching something with their paws instead of their mouth doesn’t come naturally for a dog. And today, she GOT it! Touching a target with her paw on command opens the possibility of teaching her MANY new tricks. Sprintugwalk is fun. So is teaching tricks! 😊
