During the present brake in Puppy Class March, we make huge progresses (and mega fun) with improving the course contents and developing new ideas by all your other actions and suggestions. Never had so much joy with a dog before (and we never supposed that to be increasable at all :-) ). It is great to follow your inspiration!

I don't know how I'd stay sane without them... my 5 months old puppy is all over the place & wild, but we are having so much fun learning tricks. It's great to constantly get new ideas for things to keep him occupied. I just wanted to say thank you for all the great tricks videos!

(so present a treat from the side rather than from in front) - you can also click it when she offers it on her own. You can also stop clicking one direction for now and revisit it once the other direction is fluent. Happy to hear you're having fun with the tricks!

Hope winter isn't too hard over there in Slovenia, here in France we've had unusually tough days of snow, and that's given me plenty of time to get along with foundation tricks with Ever as you advised before. She is a great skateboarder now, closes all types of doors and drawers, barks, twitsts, and so many other fun stuff! But I happen to be stuck with your basic front feet on an object and circle with hind feet (foundation for heeling). Here's my problem: she climbs nicely on the object, and moves her hind feet around so she comes facing me, but them I can't seem to be able to get her to move from that position facing me. I don't really want to lurre her because, as you said before, shaping is better for her understanding, so I tried clicking every tiny weight shift of her rear, then any tiny movement of hind feet, than any lateral step, but I can't get ahead from this. What I get after a week's work is a weird (but quite funny!) kind of "bottom dance" from left to right and back again, but no more than 2 or 3 lateral steps each time, so she can saty facing an staring at me. So I suppose I screwed up something... My assumptions are: I've been rewarding from my hand all the time (me standing close to the object), maybe I should move the reinforcement zone elsewhere? I clicked any lateral steps in any direction so now she keeps on going left and then back to the right and so on, so maybe I should choose one direction and clik steps only in the chosen direction? I noticed once I dropped an treat on the floor by accident, so she got down from the box to fetch it and when she got back she had to turn her bottom half the way around to face me, so I jackpoted that, was it OK? Should I put more movement in the exercice by sending her away form the box and back again so I can reward more steps? Anyway I would really appreciate any tip to get us unstucked... :) Thanks a lot!!! Love, Marie Hi Silvia!
