Linkin has FINALLY learned how to Wave!
I started teaching him how to wave when I was in Salmon Arm, which was... September-October. He couldn't seem to learn it though! My methods for training Linkin were completely different than Coal (no treats) and so when I added treats into the mix for trick training Linkin turned into a mush brain and couldn't focus at all!
I use treats for trick training and not obedience because I don't take tricks as serious as obedience, so therefore the same rules of inconsistancey aren't as important for tricks.
Anyway, so all these months I've been trying to teach Linkin how to wave but he wasn't totally getting it. Finally I brought Coal into the equation. I had Coal Wave first, give treat to Coal, then try and get Linkin to wave. It only took a few training sessions doing this before Linkin tottally caught on!
And he does it SOOOO Cute too! If my dad brings his digital camera home tomorrow I'll try and get a video of it (my camera doesn't do video), because words don't do it justice. he raises his paw as high as he can go and kind of cocks his head to the side. It's just so darn cute ;D

I just love it, made me laugh out loud, and Baby had to come jump in my lap to watch! What a nice wave from Linkin! ;D
When we want both dogs to do something, we also, have to repeat, and they look to one another to see if they are doing it right.

Thanks! Yeah, training the two of them at once can be hard. Especially because if I'm using treats they become STUPID and try every trick they know until they get the one I asked for, so they're not really listening

I LOOOOOVE the wave. It makes me smile. ;D I think I should be able to get Deli to do it. She kinda waves at me right now when she wants a treat when she is dancing around trying to look cute. Dogs.
