Shopping Cart Trick!!!!! :)

[Dogster]

I'm starting the shopping cart trick with Shivon!!!! She only does it from a sitting position, but we're working on it!!!! This was her first session:

If anyone has any ideas as to how to teach this from a standing position, or brags, or anything feel free to post!!!!

hmmm have you tried from a stand then paws up maybe rather than a sit then paws up.
I wanna try this but i need to find a trolley

just looked and there are soo many different ones out there for sale

I'm trying from a standing position but she just doesn't want to do it. I have been trying to get her used to paws up on my arm from a standing position before I move to the shopping cart. Would this work????

maybe also try against walls. like on my trick video where i did it with Bella, it was a test to see if she would and she did so it might work.

Thanks for the advice Tif!!!!

I had access to a shopping cart for a few hours when I took Sundog to a Pet Expo. The key was that the shopping cart was sized appropriately and she learned it very quickly. I think your shopping cart might be too small and Shivon might not be comfortable standing with her paws on it?

Oh, I forgot to mention that you might want to try it on carpet? If it rolls a bit less easily, Shivon will feel more control. She'll be able to get a better feel for the standing position. I'm glad to see a weight in there. Otherwise, she might flip it. Sundog almost flipped the one that was sized closer to her a couple of times, but luckily I kept contact with it and prevented that.

Regardless, she is cute as heck sitting there.

I have that shopping cart ahaha!

Thank you for the advice!!!!! That is a temporary shopping cart. I'm trying to find a better one. I think I'm gonna start with a poll (pool noodle) then move it, then move on to the shopping cart (she is reluctant to put her paws on it from a standing position)

I think her just sitting there with her paws on the cart is pretty impressive!!!! This is one cool trick!

Okay, I FINALLY found a shopping cart that is perfect for Shivon. (And it was free!!!) It's about 90 cm tall, up to my waist.

It doesn't look that great now, but we'll fix it up to lok as good as new!!

And it's got a pink handle too That's fantastic news, so glad you finally found a suitable shopping cart and for free - the very best price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That shopping cart is going to be far more stable than your previous one. She'll be pushing that in no time. It looks perfect!
