    That sounds like a good idea. I'll try that today. As Leaf at times seems to know what I want but doesn't do it as yet.

    That's a good idea, I love it on this forum you can always find a creative way to get a trick to work. Now all I have to do is find a popsicle stick and something like a pipe cleaner.

    Good point! I know Leaf's very smart and you have a good point. She now thinks my hand is part of the trick. Dogs sure aren't stupid, it's us as trainers who don't always managed to convey to them what we want.

    I guess this trick might be a little easier for males, as they already have the muscles developed for standing with one leg up. For the back leg anyway!

    So are any of us going to be done with this challenge by Saturday (the end of the challenge)? :p I know we won't be!

    You know when River was learning the front paw limp I used my hand to give him the idea of what I wanted. Then I phased it out by making it a wiggly/ wobbly surface to get him to realize he had to keep it up, but my hand wasn't staying in place and holding his foot up as well anymore. Then he started doing it more on his own.

    Does that make sense?

    We've made progress, but we will need more work to prefect it.

    I think he might have done a little better using his regular food. We have been using his regular food for everything lately so the hot dogs may have been a little distracting for him.

    River is so gorgeous! Of course, you already knew that.

    I never thought of lowering the value of the treats. We've been having the same problem.

    Somewhat of a busy day here leaping to a rushed filming job at the end of the day but Zac came up with his best limping attempt yet for his video moment I'm really proud of him :). Please ignore the heckling from his unappreciative audience!

    I'm guessing that we Trick Challengers could all do with another week on this trick before I post the next one?

    Very nice! You did all that with free shaping? That is awesome! As for the unappreciative audience I can relate. The only comment River hears from my sister is "go away!" She is not at all a dog person.

    I think we would benefit greatly with an extra week or two. This is a pretty hard trick! Congrats to everyone that gave it a try! :D

    Another week or two would be helpful. :)
