We are teaching Bo to do 'touch' at the moment. When we say touch she has to touch her nose to my left hand and she gets a treat. Its to try and keep her attention on us during agility but she is hard to train. It's not because she is thick but she has picked it up so quickly that I can't get far enough away from her to call her!

OH has taught Badger to sit at curbs for a treat and his bum is barely off the pavement. He sits at curbs, drives, pot holes and grids He even pulls across and sits at the curb as we're walking along and looks for his treat. I think he may be the 'obedience' dog.

They are smart - Kilo is a canine dustbin, so a good 'drop' has been a priority. Now he endlessly picks up things and drops them in front of me, waiting for his treat
