Oct. 26th, 2010 12:15 pmOops, missed a few days. I'm sure ya'll survived.
One of our challenges has been the wheelchair. It's a big scary thing from Tassie's point of view! She doesn't have a problem with riding in it, but it took some liberal applications of treats to get her comfortable around it. Now she'll "paws up" when I'm sitting in it, "vanish" underneath it, and jump in my "lap" from the bed when I'm in it. We're also working on getting my gloves on command, playing tug on command (which will lead to shutting doors) and the basic sit/down/come.
Tassie and Jack take turns chasing each other down the hall. It's hysterical.
