If it's ok for me to copy the post 'up-stream', I'd like to do a new post on training because I've had some similar experiences with the horses.Becky Burkhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142877898930589440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547899146817683728.post-78781635020220435572007-10-01T17:27:00.000-06:002007-10-01T17:27:00.000-06:00I got the comment for this in the wrong place wher...I got the comment for this in the wrong place where it makes no sense whatsoever. Oh, well, I'll learn. Excuse my fumbling, it isn't meant to be an insult or anything.<BR/><BR/>I'll try it again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I was literally laughing out loud! My daughter has been trying to train her Chocolate Lab with both hand and voice cues. He has learned several commands so she started to try for lie down while signaling with the palm of her hand moving down. He gave her a funny look and raised his paw and copied her hand movement -- looking supremely confident.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594485925128113102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547899146817683728.post-31149475235611048832007-09-26T19:30:00.000-06:002007-09-26T19:30:00.000-06:00Thank you Leah. and YES!

My poor little flamingo mare, her mother would dig a hole to China if you left her tied. She couldn't stand still for more than about 30 seconds without dancing around and if you tried to make her, that leg would be going going going. She was a real energizer bunny!Becky Burkhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142877898930589440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547899146817683728.post-38891518112962456142007-09-26T14:47:00.000-06:002007-09-26T14:47:00.000-06:00OMG - I'm still laughing about your "3-legged" mar...OMG - I'm still laughing about your "3-legged" mare.

Well, I got a 15 sec video of him kicking a bucket but it's not as impressive as that bow of his. Glad to hear that Phoebe's doing better after her tangle with the rattler. <BR/><BR/>And congrats again on the contest placings!Leah Braemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096818299653189737noreply@blogger.com
