My awesome little dog getting a shoulder workout. I'm fading the help and adding some distance…
I found this basket yesterday, brought it home, and augmented it for this trick. This is Schwartz's second session with the prop and I'm pleased with his progress. The next step is a little more independence and less help from me. For the Foot Stall, I'm trying to teach him to walk from foot to foot, but really I need to gain more control of myself, so I can be a more stable foundation (isn't that always the case in dog training no matter what exercise you are doing).
I put my iPhone on the floor of our office for a quick training session. We were working on putting together the Handstand trick with the Going Around a cone trick.
