Ok, here's where we are at, at the end of May! (I'm about half a day ahead)

Romeo totally got it.. I think the fact that he's kinda slow moving helped keep him in one place for the most part.

Juliet on the other hand, will try to get my feet! But she's doing a good job of keeping her paws off me. She just needs to stay still! :lol:

This was fun! I'm going to keep working on this trick, but can't wait for June's Trick Challenge!

Incidentally, were we supposed to post the final vids somewhere else?

You guys looked GREAT! It's funny because I have the same experience. Bentley who is slower, and less eager to throw things at me seemed to get it sooner. I guess because it was easier to isolate the behavior (standing and lifting a foot). With Lexi she would throw her feet at me and I'd click but she'd hit my foot before I could move, etc...

I'm a little bit behind so I definitely don't have it down yet but I'll try to post in the days to come.

And I think Sophie was going to post a results thread?
 
Yes, I am posting the 'results' thread today and tonight I will launch the new trick challenge:wink2:

I hope you have all really enjoyed yourselves and had fun with your dogs, which is the most important thing:smile2:
 
Oh my, I have to get my camara issue all ironed out today... Sally is ready but the technology dept. is not !! Can't wait til the next challenge.

this might be of help to those who have hard time isolating movements
Here is Jake and Lil work, australian terriers trained by experienced buddy recaller.

The first clip of Michele Pouliot who took freestyle world by storm teaching platform training might help those dogs that have too many feet movement

Funny thing happen today in my online contact course- we are 1/3 down the course and what do I know... we are to learn isolating front paw movement trick for our future contacts. I am glad we practiced!:biggrin2:
Course is overwhelmingly complex and huge in amount of material, we already at about 50 tricks alone so I am really glad I am ahead of the curve on something:lol:
