Now that it's colder, we'll be playing more training games indoors. We just got a set of tiny cones which I'll be using to train distance work (going around the cone and returning to me for instance). Mr. N has trouble working away from me sometimes so that should help.
We're also preparing for a leave it challenge his therapy group is going to host soon. Which doubled as a thank you card. I think a version with bacon and steak and meatballs would be fun.
I also kind of want to teach a hot dog retrieve this winter. Anyone else up for it?

The majority of children who meet Mr. N have no idea whatsoever how to greet dogs properly. They run up to him yelling "puppy" ...
Oh hot dogs! Bet that will be interesting.
ReplyDeleteHot dogs, I'm always up for that. Maybe some reindeer games to with Christmas coming up? You are so cute!
ReplyDeleteWill have to think of reindeer games.
DeleteRetrieve a hot dog? Wow, we need to work on "leave it" a lot more if Rocco is going to keep from devouring the hot dog. I'll be interested to see how you train that.
ReplyDeleteHe has a good leave it but it's a lot of temptation. It will be an interesting process.
DeleteDo you mean retrieve a hot dog without eating it? No way...
ReplyDeleteHaha. Want to bet?
DeleteI'm with SlimDoggy! Barley would definitely leave a hot dog, but if part of the game included putting the hot dog in her mouth, it would be all over!
ReplyDeleteI "think" he can do it. My bet offer also stands.
DeleteI am sure if anyone can do it, Mr. N can do it! I'll look forward to hearing about training that one!
DeleteI can't imagine any of my dogs retrieving a food without eating it. What a great thing to teach though.
ReplyDeleteLove the card1
Wags (and purrs) from Life with Dogs and Cats.
Ooh lucky you!
ReplyDeleteWe are working on leave it and wait and stay. I can not see Kilo ever retrieving a hot dog without eating it unless he was trading up for a bacon burger with cheese LOL. He is so food obsessed just the smell of hot dogs drives him crazy. Love the cones idea and we have some in the garage from a street party a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteA leave it challenge seems like fun! That's one of my favorite things to work on with the fluffies.
ReplyDeleteWe've been doing a lot of indoor games, too! :D
ReplyDeleteHot dog retrieve....very interesting! I'm not sure Luke is ready for that yet. I need to come up with a plan for winter though.

Indoor games! We've been playing some too.
