We got Pippa, the cat, a new laser toy. . . She sat there staring at the toy and Saffy ‘played’ with the moving red dot. That was not what we were expecting!🤣 Gave us our daily laugh early!

So this came out of the blue last night we were sitting there for about 10 mins or so and out of know where’s Harley sits up and started alerting my rest rate was like 101 ish and she kept doing it and I started to feel off after a min or so i checked my watch well she caught it before I felt it I started recording after a few seconds after she started alerting

First Step: I taught Amica to grab hold of the Handle and Bring It To Me. Next Step: I clipped the Handle to my Essentials Travel Bag, so that she can grab the Handle and bring the Essentials Travel Bag to me. By having her grab the Handle I don’t have to worry about her damaging any of the items inside the bag.

We are starting to focus more on nudge so we can start working on scent training. She does well with the nudge command for the wand or hand on the leg. She does a gentle hold, not hard repetitive nudging. She is not as strong as with one finger, still aims more for the finger than the leg. So we need to work more on pointing and rewarding.

I haven’t shown any training sessions with my big boi, so here he is! He knows “back up”, but being over 100lbs, he could definitely use some more rear end awareness! It’s always so interesting seeing the differences in training him vs. Dexter! Dexter is very praise motivated and eager to please. Negan is super food motivated and easily excitable. So too much high energy praise or high reward food and he won’t be able to focus! I included Dexter’s session here too. I did some spot training with him as a puppy, so he had an advantage 🤭
