Bounce Dog Bounce!

Although the following pics don't necessarily involve my puppy club I thought I would put them on this site because some of my family members only want to see humans on the family website! So here you have the first of my training sessions with Bo and Fin.

Bo is not much on treats so I rewarded her with the tennis ball. Every time she did what I wanted, I would throw the ball for her. My goal would be for her to just jump through the hoop after I say HOOP. Right now, I have to hold the ball on the other side of the hoop and ask her to get it.


Fin can't make it through the hoop but he was jumping over the bar like a champ! Here you can tell he is not going to quite make it.


My assistant had the great idea to incorporate her body as a step since he is still too small to clear it by himself. After all, the circus people put their bodies out there for the animals to use as props!


When Bo jumps over the bar I throw the ball up so that she has to catch it when she lands on the other side. I will post some vids later of me trying this trick with her.
