I have a job for Deedee, I'm attaching the brief. Dee can obviously tug on cue but when she does that she'll bite close to the hand, sometimes even putting her paws on me For this to work I believe it would be better if she'd bite further down the line. How would you train this?

Plugging much the same. Had some great "stops" from Igor, when he is listening he is great. I've been using a flat hand with the word heel which seems to be working better with him. Tried to start teaching him "tidy" however it proved too much having more than one toy so it's going to take some work. Phoenix will show you what he is supposed to be doing, he will show you how he does it 😂 I got some good clips of them. Igors middle is still some what of a wrecking ball 😬

What’s the bravest thing you’ve done that absolutely no one would care about?

Our trick trainer set us a Christmas Challenge with 2 main parts - hold/retrieve and send around. For Amigo, I combined the 2 elements into one trick - Decorate the Snowman! His goal was to carry the tinsel and wrap it around the snowman. Kairo performed 2 separate tricks. The hold trick, Reindeer gets the Carrot, involved dressing her as a reindeer and retrieving an actual carrot. The send around was with some singing decorations - no idea what to name this one! She’s easily distracted, so thought this would be a good test of impulse control. Believe it or not, both dogs nailed their tricks first time!

Just checking in. How's everyone getting on? What are you working on right now? How's it going?
