First we spent a bit working on the old fashioned doodles. Meaning I called out the commands in a very random order, come, back, stand, down, sit, down, stand, come, back, back, down, stand, etc. Then we both got tired of that at about the same time and so this is what we did next.
I confess, she never did manage to master the stand, flip, catch bit. All that means is we still have something to play with on another day.

That is a great video..... Her expression is of total wonderment........ where did it go, I just had it and poof. gone! Her sister can do a toss catch from the sit and if tossed to her from the front, but I also tried standing with on the nose, and nope, she can't do it either! Must be in the genes. LOL
Is there a way to teach the flip, or is this something they just figure out themselves? I'll have to see if Cap's book mentions something about this.
I have gotten to the point where I can decorate my dogs with food items and have them balance those, but some dogs seem to have the flip and some dogs don't.
I've been having a bored Leon myself, and we did some play retrieve today. I am doing a working retrieve with Jack and trying to document the differences I see in the dog's ability. Eventually we will get to a working retrieve with Leon, but I was interested to see the results of doing two methods at the same time with two different dogs.
