A New Game to Play - Ring Toss!

Okay, so it isn't really "ring toss", it's more like "ring drop" but she is definitely playing with some rings!

This is the trick that Dazzle learned today. It took her about 15 minutes or so to get to this point (which is less time than it took for me to put the whole setup together!). Make sure to stick around and watch the bloopers at the end. :)

One thing you may notice is that I don't ever really give her "commands". Rather, I just talk to her - ask her to do what I want. With practice, she has learned to understand plenty well what I mean and it seems so much friendlier to have a "conversation" with your dog rather than always speaking in single words!

I don't usually upload single-trick videos like this here (if at all, I would normally put them on her Dogster page), but this one was just too cute not to share with you guys. :)
