Rucker Learns To Bowl

[jordyquint]

This is probably his favorite trick by far. He has gotten so enthusiastic about this trick... It's kind of hilarious.

Enjoy.

This is so cute! He has pretty good aim too! Shiloh has trouble hitting the pins so I cheated and put up a barried. X|

You've inspired us to give this a try!
Valentine is very enthusiastic about kicking the ball, but she only wants to kick it backwards, sideways, or from paw to paw. She hates the idea of forward. I can't get her interested in touching the ball with the top of her foot. How did you get Rucker to do it?

@CrisM You could try with the nose instead of paw might be easier to teach that way

And good for Rucker... that's an awesome trick!

Wow! This is a really late reply, sorry about that. Oops! I originally wanted Rucker to push the ball with his nose, but he kept offering his paw so we improvised and used the paw instead. You will definitely have to shape the behavior. Let me know if you need any help or already figured it out seeing it's been almost a year later...
