Java’s agility course!
Here is a short movie of the Java’s agility tricks, jump and tunnel. She can also do one jump after the other when they are very close together. I will be uploading another movie of her agility on my second channel www.youtube.com/clickerpetsmore
Frisbee practice – multiple frisbees [video]
Here is a short movie of a frisbee drill that I do with Tessa and a few new frisbee tricks. Pam helped me A LOT with multiple stuff and inspired me to do the frisbee tricks in this movie. Please check out her channel and subscribe.
Stay tuned for more frisbee movies!
Tessa’s cop cop – forward and backward [video]
This is Tessa’s cop cop as of today. I have added the verbal cue and more steps forward. Now we’re working on steps backwards.
Stay tuned for a tutorial!
Tessa’s cop cop [video]
This is Tessa’s cop cop so far. I’m still not ready to add the verbal cue. I have to remove the treat lure and keep asking for more steps. We are having lots of fun with this trick!
Java’s frisbee tricks [video]
Here are a few of Java’s latest frisbee tricks: leg jump, go thru legs, wait & get it, go around, jump over me.
Java’s rear end awareness – pivoting exercise [video]
This is a rear end awareness exercise that teaches the dog to move his/her rear end around while keeping his/her front paws on a book, mat or stepping stool. Rear end awareness is a foundation for complex behaviors.
This is just the beginning of this exercise. I still have to teach Java to do free rotation and eventually remove the mat.
Tessa’s cop cop – latest training session [video]
We have gotten to the step where we begin to take small steps. Tessa had a few training sessions getting into position with the book, but now she can do it on the ground.
Now, we’ll be working on taking more steps forward.

Tessa learning cop-cop [video]
Tessa is learning the trick “Cop-cop” – your feet on mine. I started off having her go between my legs and then target my feet, one at a time. She had a hard time targeting both my feet at the same time, so I came up with this idea, teaching her to put her front paws on a stool and then put her front paws on my feet while I’m standing on the stool. I am working on the position with Tessa and then, I will remove the stool or transition to a book or shorter object. This technique is similar to the Kikopup method except you stand on the object rather than having it between your legs.

I’m also working on this exercise with Java, so I’ll post a movie of her doing it soon.
