the shame on u was funny and cccccccccuuuuuuuuuutttttttteee­eeeeeeeeee plz do a video how did u train him

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@neinei35 hi thankyou. i just simply held a treat under the cushion while lifting it up with my other hand so that the dog could see it, then as they got the idea, i gradually relaxed the cushion down so that they went looking for the treat i held under the cushion. once they were reliably doing this i took my treat hand away and just clicked and rewarded them for looking under the cushion without the need for my visual cue of the other hand being underneath it. good luck

How teach dog that?!

[teaandjamm]

Great ideas and love the tricks. My puppy needs to learn how to drop so this would be perfect for game play and obedience.

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@teaandjamm Thankyou. Oh i so love working with puppies, they are clean slates and such awesome sponges absorbing all the information readily:)) have fun with your puppy:))

[ninjakittyinmypants]

Love this video. So great watching your dog Think. You practically see the thought process of "what about this? or this? Or this Oh treat! Ok I'll do that again!" fantastic :D!!

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@ninjakittyinmypants @Glad yo liked and thankyou so much for your comment..yes i love to watch her think.. she is so awesome:))

[claudiahoyle]

awesome work... I loved the "shame on you" with the tail wagging outside... and yes one can tell she loves the rapid fire game... she knows a lot of behaviours I have to pratice and leave the computer for a bit ehehhe congratulations!

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@claudiahoyle Thankyou really appreciate your comment. yes the 'shame on you' trick is soo funny especially when my lab and inca do it together and both their tails are wagging away..lol! she knows a lot more behaviours these were just some. if you get time check out the rest of my uploads, you may enjoy them:))

[musicofnote1]

As usual awesome! And what?!? No treats? I thought positively trained dogs only work for treats? LOL!! It's really terrific, how your crrew is so attentive and ready to go! Really inspirational.

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@musicofnote1 Thanks Leonard...yes they simply brim in enthousasim and no treats required, but i like to give them all the same. lol!

[pamelamarxsen]

Love mental stimulation games! Awesome video! I love the jump. How did you train that! I have one dog that can kind of do it, but the other not at all and he can jump really high. OMG, the shame on you is so cute! I also love that she is doing it all for the tug and I bet because she loves to do tricks! 

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@pamelamarxsen Thanks pamIf you check out my hand targeting vid..i think i showed on there how i used my hand to get them to target it up above and jump up to it. took a little longer than expected for Inca to catch on to it but she really loves it now:)) yes Inca simply just LOVES to work and would work all day if she could. She loves her toys we usually do the ' what can you do' session on a night before bed and she REALLY REALLY loves this. I so love seeing them think & work things out:)

[pamelamarxsen]

@MultiAnimalcrackers Sweet, I will have to watch it, but another day. My husband says I spend too much time on the computer. He is right! So, I am off to spend some time with him and the dogs. :)

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@pamelamarxsen snap...i tend to spend a bit too much time on here. have a good day:))

[kikopup]

I love the kneel trick! So inventive!! Inca is adorable!!!

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@kikopup Thankyou for commenting i appreciate it:)) i saw a version of kneel on Attila's gladiator freestyle routine and i thought it was awesome, actually i think all his moves in his freestyle routines are fantastic and so creative. much as you are great for inspiring me also :) Inca is simply fantastic i really really LOVE working her...such enthousasim she has to throw herself into everything, she is also very quirky on walks and does things that make me laugh daily..such a character.

[abirdslife]

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@abirdslife Thanks Cheryl..it is great fun, the rapid fire one is Incas most fav game, she just squeaks with excitement..lol!

[azmauigirl]

Yet again, another great video with tons of ideas! Love it! Inca has such joy! We'll be trying these games, too, tho' no camcorder yet. Perhaps one day. Thanks for sharing your creativity, talents, and those of Inca!

[MultiAnimalcrackers]

@azmauigirl Thankyou...glad we have inspired you to give them a go they are such fun, as you can tell Inca absoloutly loves them and can hardly contain herself with excitement.:..lol!
