Weaving between legs (Elizabeth and Beckett will hate this one, lol)
Backing up
Putting back feet on something
Targeting an object with shoulders or hips
Crawling
Discriminations- colors, shapes, objects, etc.
Marching in place
Counting/Math (like Clever Hans)
Balancing a dog treat on nose then tossing it the air and catching it.
limping
penguin- move forward in the beg position
holding an object in their front paws
back stall
chest vault
jump through arms
handstand
Cues as Reinforcers!

Someone just needs to train me to use stilts, and then watch out on the leg weave.
I also was thinking of balancing dog treat on nose then tossing it the air and catching it. I love useless tricks.

hmm, here are some things I’ve been occasionally working on or have been planning to start:
limping
penguin- move forward in the beg position
holding an object in their front paws
back stall
chest vault
jump through arms
handstand
or if we do really simple tricks I need some motivation to work on the ferrets and cat.

ooh something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile is to shape something using another cue as the reinforcer.
Ex: if you want the dog to put 2 feet on a box…
dog paws box-you cue sit-dog sits-click/treat.

side passes, in heel position and right side.
rollover between your legs as you step over them.
jumping in the air, not just standing on hind legs.

I also want to do the 8 heel work to music positions.
