I've done this a time (or six!)

Tonight would be Kurth's first night of Puppy Life at Canine Craze. The first night is puppy free, it is just for owners...and, having done this a time (or few) before, I always skip the first night. Instead, we are working on "down" and "sit." I exclusively clicker train so, in the manner in which clicker training happens, you have to capture the behavior or body position and then give them a reward (in this case, food.) Kurth is VERY food motivated. He's learned that lying down and sitting make food appear and he is rather pleased with this development in his universe. My goal for the week is to get sit and down on cue as well as hand targeting so that I can post a video by the end of the weekend.

It is always good to have goals! We'll just see what happens.
