lol...it works the dogs brain.

part of learning how to learn.

ten minutes of free shaping is equal to an hour of exercise.

But the corner? Id be afraid my dog would get stuck LOL that or I would be running around like a psycho looking for my dog who must have gotten out to later find her/him in the corner haha

haha...the corner is an interesting choice!

don't know why he chose the corner...maybe the dog was afraid of it and he was "fixing" the fear.

That dogs when it spins is hilarious.

HA! Dusting of the corner by training your dog to go back there and turn around is just not fair! lol

I really liked that vid. I used that same aproach to get my Fizz to "goto bed" Started just getting him into his bed. Then added the sit command. once he sat everytime added down command. Now he goes to bed a lies down all while i am sitting on the couch. I like the clicker it works very well with shaping. I also used this method to get fizz to give me a Kiss. He kinda did it once or twice. Once I saw this then I started to click when he did it. Now he does it really well.
