Aspen and I started in a new class yesterday.
One of the behaviors we worked on was "back up," paired with a wave of the hand, fingers down. She already knew how to back up when she came to us, and we figured she was raised in a trailer, because she was expert at backing down the hallway in our our narrow park-model travel trailer. So it's a matter pairing the hand signal and the voice command with her behavior. We practiced for about 5 minutes in class.
Last night, we had both dogs in the van, and Aspen came forward out of her rear seat and stood next to Sturmz' seat, panting. Frank gave her the fingers-down wave, and she backed up and got back on her seat. Smart puppy!
