Still working on the "get on". After trying 10 times he gets on them successfully and gets a treat. So we're still working on that. Maybe i need to hide the treat, he seems to be following my treat hand.

Bored? :rofl:

This morning you were still working on "get on" and now he is bored? Shorter sessions.

Get on, hold it, "reward" alright. Is he doing that well and every time you ask?

No! He runs around the skates, tries some halfhearted get ons, then seeing no treat coming he finally steps up. Then I wait for him to adjust his feet, then treat.

Boy, he's rotten! Jealous of Kahlua! I loved her expression after she stepped up, expecting her reward, and you asked her to hold it.

No, we are not at all there but the video is VERY instructive! Thank you so much for posting it!

Omg, such a butt! Kailua and I call him the pecker head. :rofl: I stopped the video as I'm sure no one wanted to hear me raise my voice at him. ;) He came back with a better attitude. :laugh:

Kailua lights up my world. She never knows what she wants but I don't care, I just love her.

Maui might be ready to move forward. I think he knows he is supposed to be going somewhere from watching Volar. I try tomorrow. :)

Maui was more worried about the giant bus that just pulled up in front of our building. He will be fine tomorrow. :)
