Day 7 & 8

I had the random urge to lay a track and do some [seriously] amateur tracking with Addaxx. She loved it and picked up on what she was supposed to do right away. The tracking kind of sparked teaching "touch", something I hadn't taught yet for whatever reason. Most people start with "touch" from the beginning. lol

She had a love/hate relationship with learning "touch". She started getting so frustrated she'd kick the object away or pick it up [which is exactly what I want lol]. Once she realized that touching or even sniffing said object would bring yummy treats she loved it! I was sitting there talking to my brother in an attempt to show him how to train 'touch' to his Chihuahua, and Addaxx was sitting in front of me pawing at the object and looking at me for a reward. She's too funny sometimes.

I got a cell phone vid of her doing "touch"

Days left: 83
Tricks left: 78

Slowly but surely we're working our way down!

(I love how so far I haven't worked on any of the tricks on my 'to do list' in the original post)
