I am so enjoying shaping BabyD, he keeps making me giggle. I have been working on his reverse and one session I somehow accidently shaped him to bow (a trick I have never taught) it made me laugh and really respect how dogs learn and how key timing of reward is :) I have read something simular on another blog before, but what tricks have you acidentally trained with your dogs?
I am constantly stepping up his distractions during waits at home, we were throwing treats towards him and holding them centimeters from his nose and I can see him peering up at me from under his eyebrows as if to say ' you cant fool me momma...' he knows that if he breaks he gets nothing but if he resists my teasing he gets tons of food and play- it's such good fun, I have never enjoyed teaching waits before always trying to stop the dog failing so I can reward the good, it's great to be trying to make him fail- he sees the fun in it too!
