This week momma worked with me to learn how to close a drawer. She started by holding a treat just over the drawer so I would nudge it while I got the treat but I wasn't getting it. Well I was getting the treats but not the connection with the drawer closing. So then she decided to use the fact that I will investigate with my snooter anything she points to. So she started pointing at the drawer and if I snootered it then
and then snacks. Here is an early training session in which I got bored (can you blame me this is kinda a boring trick!)
Then she made it harder and actually only clicked when I nudged the drawer. We did about four 10min sessions before today and that is when she took this next video and you can see for your self how far we got. Sorry it is kinda long and boring...
See you next week!
That was a VERY good boy!

ReplyDeleteWell, doh. It must be boring tricks week.
ReplyDeleteMY mum is trying to make me go BACKWARDS away from the nom in her hand. What is she on, I ask? I tried every ofur trick I know, but nope, that nom stayed in her hand. I even WHACKED her with my paw when I was trying 'shake paws' just so she noticed what I was doing. But did she give up that nom. No sireeee. She's just mean. Mean I tell you.
Apparently it is your fault. 'Moose can do this trick' she says.
Just wait until we get to the picking up afta myself. If she says 'Moose does it' I'm gonna swim right ofur there and chomp your butt pal.
Lets do some more FUN tricks like get the carrot & knock ofur the paper cups to find noms???? Are you with me??? ;) I don't mind if she says 'Moose does this trick' then. :)

Oh my mentals! That was hard to figure out. I hear your mom saying "gentle" Guess you have shark mouth like PeeWee. I can see how hard you are working and hear that heavy breathing that goes with mental strain.

Yay Moose! That's great! I started learning open the frig, but mom thinks the frig door may be too hard and we should start with a cabinet instead. Closing a drawer is a very helpful trick and you never know when tricks that help out your momma will come in handy!
