Jake thinking things through! He is a smart cookie :)

Katherine uses hand signals, treats, and lots of cheering me on to reward my baby steps when she's shaping new behaviours.

We were practicing following hand movements so she can show me where to go and what to do; sit, watch, I'm learning touch and shaping bow/down.

Shaping behaviours that I don't know in babysteps, so it's easy for me to put two and two together...watch the video and you'll see what I mean.

You can actually see me using my brain (and watching Katherine's body language) to figure out what she would like me to do.

*note she corrects me by using her voice and body language to redirect me , letting me know what I should be doing instead. This kinda training is my favourite! It keeps my tail wagging :)
