I thought I would share my latest training tool/toy with you all. This is Cupar and Rusty the squirrel flirt pole. I was so pleased with both Cupar and myself, because the dog does need to know certain commands and I worried that he would get so excited that he would forget leave, sit and stay. No he is brilliant. We're not perfect but that's the whole pint of this toy, is to help teach these things and what fun we're both having. It helps with learning control. We're getting better at the length of stay. His leave it ,is better. It's homemade and looks it but it does the job. Oh and my grandson is so pleased he donated Rusty the squirrel.
