Here is my hooligan tonight. We had trained hard for a hour, his tongue was pretty much on the floor....I sat down (on the rugby scrum machine @snowbunny) , for a breather, before packing all the kit up to go home. He didn't want to stop....."what we doin'? what we doin'?". Look how his tail wags off the back of his placeboard. You can't say it isn't lovely. don't want to stop by julieandcharlie julieandcharlie, on Flickr
He's lovely! Sirius get the same expression.... and in that precise moment i fear for myself since he starts hugging me and bite me on my arms -.-
I've never had that problem with Charlie - for all his faults and excitability, he has never done the jumping up nipping thing. I trained with an owner with a dog like that - it had her in tears on many an occasion. The dog had learned that behaviour got a reward although it wasn't obvious what this was - I think more movement, or a fuss, or something...
I can say it is lovely. Next you need to put a handle on that place board so on his last BACK he can grab it and bring it to you to take home. Or, wait, were you ahead of the game and put it where you have to go by anyway?
Those little steps backwards always make me laugh - when he was on rest I started to clicker train 'walk backwards', only trained 3 steps and never put it on cue. Now, whenever he wants me to do something, he'll do those 3 little steps backwards.
that's just beautiful. And what a brilliant advert for positive reinforcement training for the doubters out there.
Mum sits and Charlie runs up and down, good dog training technique Charlie looks in excellent physical condition and is obviously a very happy dog.
Well i'm probably a bad owner , i can't even fix this habit! My grip with him is that he starts to get excited out of nowhere, yesterday he started painting and jumped on me biting my arms obviously while he was wagging his tail
