Challenges so far:
Spin (McKenzie)
Feet up (JessIncaFCR)
Circle around handler (McKenzie)

A while ago we had a trick challenge thread on here where someone posted a trick, and if you taught it and uploaded it in the given time frame you got a point for it.

I thought as there are so many new members that it might be nice to revive (but I have no idea what the original thread was called, so here's a new one!)

Rules:
- First person to upload their video is the 'Trick Master', who gets to choose the next trick.
- The Trick Master chooses the time frame for uploading a video of the trick; usually a few days to a week.
- Due to the varying degrees of ability on this forum the Trick Master may provide a 'standard' and 'advanced' version of the trick if they want.
- You receive one point for each 'standard' trick performed, and a point and a star for each 'advanced' trick performed. You can do both the standard and the advanced versions, but you'll still just get 1 point (and a star).
- Tricks should be performed on command, without excessive luring (particularly if you are doing the 'advanced' version of a trick.)
- Tricks should be trained using kind methods. Dogs shouldn't experience any stress whilst being taught a trick.
- If you own multiple dogs you will receive a point for each dog you perform the trick with.

Let's go!

So the first trick is a nice simple one - spin. Your dog should spin 360 degrees. I'll accept a spin in either direction for a point. If your dog can spin in both directions you'll get a point and a star. You have 4 days - I'll close it at midnight on Tuesday (your time).

Example - this would earn you a point and a star.

Have fun :)

Here's out trick challenge.....

TARGET (or Touch)

So your dog must target your hand (or targeting implement) with their nose or paw.

There must be no food in the targeted hand, and the dog must show that it knows target by doing at least 2 different positions (left + right, up + down).

So 1 point for 2 touches, and you get a * if your dog can target something away from you.

(I apologise for the awful video quality of this one, but you can see her targeting the paper)

It's Tuesday evening, so you have until Sunday midnight :)

Good Luck everyone!

Yay! Io loves touch!! Will get my video up soon! :D

If its a touch away from me can she do it with her paws? She touches my hand with her nose but generally touches items with her feeties :)

I just thought I got her to touch the window sill as it was nearby, if that isn't what you want I can get her to touch a toy or something instead :) It was a bit of a rush video as I am busy usually doing week :eek:

Io was a little bit hyper as we'd just done some shaping stuff so unsure if this will surfice! If not I can do another one at the weekend :)

PF Trick challenge #5 Touch - YouTube
Lol I love how excited she is! But clearly knows her commands :)

I used this video last time and its just a hand touch so will work with them to touch something away from us.

Oh I think I'll accept it :p ;)

But it would be great if you could get her to move away from you to something more...errrm...target-like? (For want of a better word lol)

Oh - I forgot to do a video and it's too dark just now.

He knows it though (just my hand, not an object) so I can do it tomorrow.
I'll extend the deadline till Monday midnight :)

I have to film ours during the day too, the house is just too dingy at night time.

I won't be able to do my video I'm afraid - had a bit of a crappy weekend and on weekdays I spend my time at home when its dark as I work full time - I am home at lunch but haven't the time to do a video. So just leave it at the hand touch :)
 
#172 ·
I hadn't been going to do a second video because I didn't have time to film it but having seen the deadline extended, I decided to do a quick one before bed... it isn't the greatest as I just filmed myself so there are shots of the floor :eek: and Jake has been in a silly mood all flipping day. I can't see most of the videos as the tablet won't let me play them so I hope we have had the right idea on what to do lol.. Their object to touch is a candle tin lol.
