Others here will probably give you better ideas, but here's mine. I would go back to the beginning and focus entirely on the hind feet, clicking only for that....
LOL...I love this...."and it keeps his ears forward too!" So funny how you might be able to use it as a tennis ball launcher as well. How versatile...LOL. ...
-Hey Andrea...this is VERY cool... I would shape him to keep the inside hind on a mat. Retrain it as a whole new behavior. Start very small so he won't get...
Hi Cheryl! Well done!!! I am SO impressed. Everyone - Cheryl has been working entirely on her own, apart from when she is able to visit me, which is not often...
