A flirt pole can be such a great training tool! Here, Border Collie Apollo works on "enough"
Rizzo was having to be nudged the last bit into the crate at home. Now, he's not only going on on cue but nudging the door open himself. Way to go Rizzo! I'm going to miss this silly boy.

Cornbread LOVES to work. Puppy camp Day two was a success🐾
Rowan is a super sweet lab, husky, hound mix who struggles with a bit of stranger danger. Today we worked some confidence building and also the very beginning of place so that he has a job to do when people enter his house.
Scratch board arrived and we got to work immediately. Gordon knows "paw" as a cue so we started with that. Mabel, because she is my working dog, was never taught to paw so I had to figure out a behavior she already knows and then free shape it. I started with paws up on the board held high and let her start sliding and marked and named it scratch. After watching Mabel do this a couple times, apparently Gordon caught on and took it upon himself to scratch.
