I havent posted in a while, but Im working with Quinn on getting him to move rear sideways (lateral movement) instead of just his front half.
Using Shirleys methods Im working on teaching him to move his rear to a finger point and a verbal command. Hes slowly getting the idea.
A method Id been taught by Shirley then reinforced by Betty (a T-touch practitioner) Ive been having Quinn walk through a ladder like object. In this case Ive been using a set of 4 weave poles tipped on their side. It seems to be helping a little, though he was very frightened of them at first. This helps them to think about their body and learn that they have a rear end.
On Missys training Ive been working on teaching her tricks. Ive practiced crawling, rolling over and begging. Shes gotten a little confused on nose touches versus, hitting something with her paw. Ill be working on that.
