Emily Larlham (kikopup) in Sweden, using Loke for demoing prancing

[SheaandBekah]

AWE loke is so cute. heheheh thought of a good cue for this for the holiday. Whats your favourite raindeer. Hehe than he prances

[SunnyShineGirl14]

@Silivr1 Ah! That makes much more sense! Thank you :)

[SunnyShineGirl14]

@Silivr1 Just hold the treat above thier head and walk?

[Silivr1]

@SunnyShineGirl14 Yes, that is one way to teach this. Notice when Emily clicks. The treat above the head is a lure that you must fade out rather quickly to not get stuck with having to use your hand like that in order to get the dog to do the trick. First you use a treat like Emily is doing in this vid. Then only your hand (but the dog will get a treat anyway of course!) and then, depending on how fast your dog "gets it", you start to fade the hand completely and adding a cue.

@kikopup How do you teach prancing? It's so cute!

[Silivr1]

@SunnyShineGirl14 You teach it like she does in the video. ;)

Loke is so elegant when he prances! I love him, and I love his beautiful tail ; )

[TrikkesAlot]

Loki is SO beautiful!

Emily always inspires me to get the clicker out. She must of touched more dogs lives than she could imagine. Thanks for sharing the video, I never thought of teaching my dogs to prance. One out of 4 will enjoy it for sure.

What kind of breed loke is?

[Silivr1]

@K1kuch1 He's an Australian shepherd.

I have a naturally prancy 7 mo. old Airedale, I will work on capturing it! It's the most adorable bouncy trot.

[kikopup]

This video is awesome :) Loke was the perfect demo dog :)

[Silivr1]

@kikopup He was very happy to work with you. =)

[TheWigglebutt]

Awesome. I would love to work on this. It makes so much sense how it would be cruel to do this with a dog for so long who hasn't built their muscles yet. Makes so much sense. I wanted to ask you if she told you what to do next, like when to fade the hand and how to.

[Silivr1]

@TheWigglebutt Hmm, I don't know if she told me, actually, hahaha. =P I went a little blank when filming... Haha, stupid. But I know my dog pretty well, so it's usually not so hard to know when I can fade lures with him. He's so smart...

[LeoxPomeranian]

Wow that is so awesome, Emily is such an inspiration. Loke did great! :)
