She’s a clever little one Getting a good recall is going to be a challenge, but she’s so smart! We’re doing the LoLaBuLand online puppy/tricks class at the moment and she’s enrolled in obedience class in May. They only had puppy class or obedience level 2 so I asked if we could join the level 2-class and that was okay. It’s later and easier for me to get to on time, plus she’ll have a lot of her basic skills in place by then. Will be interesting to see how she’ll work around other dogs, though.

Gummi finished his trick today! Doing it outside might be too much distraction for Pipette at the moment but we’ll see! Doing it from a meter away is the criteria, so she can finish her trick indoors if necessary.

Keep on turning!

We truly love being part of the Freestylehundar trick group! The turning around trick is pretty tricky (I suppose it needs to, to live up to its name) but we’re getting the hang of it!

Turn around – Freestylehundars Trick of the Day challenge # 12

Posted on 03/03/2013 by The WriggleButts

This Monday Susanne started another challenge at the Freestylehundar website/Facebook group and of course we accepted the challenge!

The official video:

The group is in Swedish, but if any of our English speaking friends want to join in the fun I’m know you will be welcome. As you can see the tutoreal videos are in English and most members would be able to help with questions in English as well. You find the group HERE!

We started a few days ago, but didn’t get any video until today. We had Caroline and Hamlet over last night for some training and after that things suddenly started to fall into place so this is our first video!

Working on a handstand

Posted on 10/02/2013 by The WriggleButts

Mom and I have been working on a new trick. Since I’ve learned to walk on my hind legs it was time to learn to walk/stand on my front legs!

This video is high quality, so if your interwebs are slow you might want to choose the other one!

Trick of the day #11 Tidying up

Posted on 07/02/2013 by The WriggleButts

Triks 11 video 1 from The WriggleButts on Vimeo.

We’ve completed another one of Freestylehundar’s Trick of the day challenges! This time Gummi had to tidy up 3 objects in one session. Since we’ve worked with similar things already it wasn’t a great challenge. It was all about convincing Gummi the toy he’d already put in the box couldn’t just be picked back up and deposited again for a new treat.

Mom and PA went to Thailand for a couple of weeks so we only had two weeks instead of four, so it was good to have a head start!

Marching on!

Posted on 15/01/2013 by The WriggleButts

We actually managed the 4 steps on Monday! We still have some work to do to make this i reliable trick, but it’s been very challenging and fun. A year ago I would never have believed he’d be able to tell the difference between his front legs! We’ll keep working on waving with the two feet separately, too!

Lovely walkie with Turbo!

Posted on 13/01/2013 by The WriggleButts

Birgitte and Turbo joined us for a walk while up by the lake! He’s a little grumpy at times and didn’t want to wrestle with me, but we still had lots of fun!

Wanna wrestle?
