I do know, I mentioned I’d do a greater job maintaining my weblog.  What can I say?  I suck.

Anyway, Xen is developing on his one-year birthday!  He’s making very nice progress in his coaching.  The next video exhibits coaching for “object guard”.

His job is to forestall me from taking the item. My job is to…steal it! I can try to intimidate him with noises, carry obstacles, pivot, go backward, and many others.  He has to attend till..effectively.  It will depend on what you select to coach. I’m educating him to chew once I’m inside a meter.  After which he must launch on his personal once I cease transferring in or if I start to again away, after which…we do it once more.

He has a fairly good clue about this train with a toy – now I’m including a chew swimsuit.  I additionally cue him to chew if he doesn’t do it on his personal, particularly with the swimsuit, since I don’t need him worrying about getting him proper.  He’ll get there finally.
