Charlotte, what I did was, as soo...Thank you Kate!<br /><br />Charlotte, what I did was, as soon as they were picking the item up I got them to target my hand with it. When that was established I backed away from them a step and got them to move a foot to reach my hand, then a stride, etc.<br /><br />Throwing it and getting them to go away, pick it up, turn and come back took longer and involved a fair amount of dropping it and picking it up again, and i tried to get a click in after a few strides but before they dropped it to begin with. After that I held out for the full monty and they were quick to realise that they only got rewarded if they arrived back carrying it and so did stop and pick it up again.<br /><br />My friend did the same with her horse, Tom, and he was really quick to learn too. Bella puts it so gently and carefully into your hand that it's really sweet!!!<br /><br />Bella's bow is ace now, after just a few sessions. Her knee and face are nearly on the ground and she will already do it without me picking her foot up for her. She spoils me she is such a trier and ssuch a quick learner. I haven't tried it with Jack yet as I wanted to make sure it worked with Bella first. Bella is the queen of Spanish Walk but Jack is the king of the pedestal - he can't get enough of it!!!!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636162286931270812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375897711497565846.post-56407101085934401182009-08-25T20:05:09.541+01:002009-08-25T20:05:09.541+01:00Sounds fantastic!!

I find people love to ask Hylo to smile or Tig to give them a kiss. I'll bet it will be brilliant - I hope someone does indeed take piccies :-)<br /><br />When you have time, please tell me how you got to the next step in retrieve from picking an object up (even walking to pick an object up) and getting the retrieve part?????Appy2Quarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506509604494731350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375897711497565846.post-76913920440622939362009-08-25T17:44:41.064+01:002009-08-25T17:44:41.064+01:00That sounds pretty exciting - I hope you get some ...That sounds pretty exciting - I hope you get some photos or even a video!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
