I've always been interested in service-dogs and the tasks they perform. I've taught Oka to close doors, help with the washing(laundry), pull off socks. Someone put a link to "supernaturalBC"s' video of one dog doing a 2 point sound alert... to alert the owner, then to take her to the source of sound. I thought that was cool, complex and useful in a house hold to teach her. I want to take this to getting Oka to take me to my kids by name, or "show me" things i ask of her (kind of like 'find my keys'). Oka seems to like being a "service dog", she likes useful tasks that involve us.
Anyway...I've been doing this over the past few days or so. Then thought "doh! i should be making a video diary" So i recorded our progress so far in quick stages. I missed out the bit about putting the nose touches to the alarm cue. I think it's interesting how the GSD has come out in this as she keeps wanting to shoulder-barge me if i'm stood up.
( Gosh, please ignore the state of my "dining room"!!!)
