I recently finished filming Ally's champion trick title submission and it was approved! She did really well, even though tricks are not really her favorite thing in the world. So proud of my girl. ❤️
Ally is awesome! And so are you. When I had a Boston terrier, she wanted to train, so I taught her sit, down, roll over, paw and wait. I ran out of tricks to teach her. I bet you could teach Ally to balance your checkbook!
Haha thanks! Ally can't handle that level of responsibility lol. 😂 But she sure is smart when she sets her mind to something. I've heard Boston terriers are super smart too!
Thanks!! I taught her to back up first (luring a step back and rewarding when her back feet touched a target/different surface like the carpet) and gradually increased the steps backward. After that, I just taught her to back up onto a flat board (rewarding every time her back feet went on the board). From there, I gradually slanted the board upwards until she was able to do it almost vertically. Then we generalized it to a few different surfaces (couch, fence) using the board against the new surface at first and then fading it out.
