Guess what!
Eva is 8 months old today!!!
Here's to our first tricky t-day video with both Mika and Eva!
Today we used Sue Ailsby's training practice as a guide and decided to teach them 'touch' or 'target'.
TARGET
The dog must deliberately Touch the handler’s hand with her nose on only one voice cue. The hand in position is, naturally, a second, allowable cue.

Guess where we're going today? Or should I give you a little hint?

Nice work, you two! Sheltieland looks like a pawsome place!

That video reminds me so much of Oreo & Misty! Eva is so eager to learn!
I use "touch" ALL the time. Especially when Oreo is acting crazy. When he is getting out of control, we've practiced "Touch" so many times, he will usually stop what he's doing and come to my hand. So, this is a wonderful thing to teach them.
Misty loved "touch", because it is easy for her and I think she secretly likes to bonk her nose on my hand.
Have fun with all the shelties. Thanks for the fun video! It was great seeing the two dogs learning and having fun!
Excellent tricky t-day! Mika and Eva work well together! Hope you have a wonderful day in sheltie land!
this is wonderful!
Happy 8th Month Birthday Eva!!!!
I love Eva and Mika together!
Priscilla you have such a lovely voice, no wonder Eva and Mika listen to you so well.
You make me feel so guilty! I need you come and train my Sheltie
What is SheltieWorld?
Great to see you use clicker at last! WooHoo for the positive training! Well done Eva and Mika and their mummy Priscilla!
8 months already! Time goes so quickly!
Well I surely am impressed! It's a shame I didn't try to teach Louis anything like that. He would never think about doing something to EARN a treat :(
Well done, looks like your training mom well.
See Yea George
