Rosie and I do target training from time to time. It is something she seems to enjoy and I reward her with cashew pieces and lots of praise and kisses. I make the clicker noises myself since it is just easier for me.
We haven't done it in a while so I decided yesterday would be a good day to start again. I got the cashews and set Rosie up on her recliner and I sat on the floor in front of her. I made the clicker noise and we started. Apparently the dogs remembered what the clicker noise meant. All of a sudden, I hear thumps upstairs and running feet down the stairs. Bailey and Teddy poke their head into the room just as I am giving Rosie her first cashew piece. They wanted a treat too. They crack me up. Rosie obviously finds it funny as well b/c she will direct her cashew crumbs down in their direction. So Rosie does a trick, get a cashew and kisses. Bailey and Teddy just have to stay sitting where they are and they get cashews. Silly dogs. What really makes me laugh is they will ignore the cashew pieces she drops from her food dish. They just don't want to miss out on the special treat Rosie is getting. Goofballs.
