Easy Button

[Evie]

I'm a bit slow to the party (again) but will go get a video of Evie doing this now. She already knows this one fairly well as I taught her to target a doorbell with her nose when she wants to go outside.

 

[Evie]

Oh and Veronica is SO CUTE!!! I LOVE the 'husky' noises she makes. sorry I call them husky noises because the most vocal dog I've ever met is my brothers husky who makes noises like that... only a lot louder and more regularly when something isn't going her way (eg. you're not paying her enough attention)

 

[JazzyandVeronica]

LOL@ the "husky noises"!!!

I can't imagine a dog MORE vocal than Veronica; I think I would need to get earplugs!!!!!

 

[Evie]

I might have to get a video of the Skye husky then She is so funny

I can't find my door bell We've moved house since it was last used and well.... I have NO idea where it is. Sigh.

.

Please do; now I'm curious!!!!!

 

[Jean Cote]

Thanks. It's actually quite simple once it's all set up. I have a room dedicated for recording so that makes it a little easier. But I wouldn't have gone to this length if I didn't need to film a professional looking course. I think your videos are just great!

 

[MaryK]

Great work Mutt!

 

[MaryK]

Will have my vid up later in the week. Gotta get partner to help with the filming.

 

[MaryK]

Oh...WOW!!!

Here I was thinking it was some sort of video editing program that just kept the moving parts and wiped everything else out. I suppose that's not possible, but I am not very technologically adept.

You really put ALLOT of work into perfecting those videos. It's a really eye catching, neat effect!!!

I was going to ask the same question. I thought the same thing J & V, it was in the editing of the vid.

Agree, Jean sure does put a lot of work into the vids.

Going to do Ra Kismet's vid today, weather is fine, no rain (partner is allergic I think to rain).

 

[MaryK]

Apologies for the quality of the video. I refused to lie on the grass after being just recently badly stung by something very nasty. And also Ra Kismet was a bit over excited, somehow video cameras do that to him

 

[JazzyandVeronica]

Nice job MaryK!!

I like Ra's enthusiasm, "I can do it!!! I CAN DO IT!! Get outa my way and let me do it"!!!

Also thought it was neat the way he didn't just touch, but kept his paw on the ball.

 

[Dogster]

GREAT video!!!! LOVE the enthusiasm!!! He did really well!!!
Nice hair, btw!!

 

[Jean Cote]

Great video! I love the creativity in using a ball That's what it's all about!

Thank You J & V LOL oh yes, he's like that with life in general. But tricks and soccer he just ADORES Took a little bit to actually calm him down LOL at times he got a little too excited, which put me in a 'dangerous' position

Cannot claim too much for him keeping his paw on the ball, he kinda 'taught me' that one, but I was pleased he did it under different circumstances

 

[MaryK]

GREAT video!!!! LOVE the enthusiasm!!! He did really well!!!
Nice hair, btw!!

Thank you Dogster That's my boy, always enthusiastic about life. A real tonic

Thank you for the comment on my hair, was so over blonde I'll tell my hairdresser you noticed

 

[MaryK]

Great video! I love the creativity in using a ball That's what it's all about!

Thank you Jean. That's what I LOVE about the trick challenges, thinking of a creative way to present a trick

 

[jackienmutts]

Very cute!! Love Rakins' enthusiasm, he just can't wait!!, and I esp love his draping his paw over the ball, that's my fav!!! (and seems to be his trademark move) And I agree, cute hair, too!

Thank you Jackie LOL he sure is one VERY enthusiastic boy! Wait? "erh Aunty Jackie that just doesn't compute in my head!"

Yes the 'paw on ball' is what he offers as his 'default trick' he LOVES that one! Well he does have the soul of a soccer player Def his trademark!

Thank you, LOL my hairdresser's head will be very swollen!

MaryK the easy button is an advertising tool from a chain store called Staples. Maybe you can find one online.
I have an easy button and Huntyr learned real fast to put his paw on it. But it takes a little pressure to "push" it. I cant use the cue word push cuz he associated that with "pushing a ball forward". I want him to step on it, not use his nose.
So far he touches it just fine, how can I get him to apply pressure??
any ideas??
