Mission 1, Day 3 with Daisy - Pick it up

So this is a continuation of training with Daisy. I have multiple sclerosis and occasionally drop things. I’ve been training her to pick things up. She’s really good with most shapes and textures. I started with a plastic Tupperware and just taught her on that one item to begin with. Then I moved to other plastic things of similar size. Then I moved to different sizes and different materials. She’s still uncomfortable picking up metal things like my keys. But we’ll get there :-) I use high reward treats with the metal objects. Here’s a video of this morning practicing.
