Percy Bucket 1.mov

This is Percy's 3rd or 4th time working on pick up the bucket. He has gotten that much down well but proceeding to handing it to me is not so successful. He thinks playing with the bucket is more reinforcing than what I offer him and is happy to play tug of war with it even after I click. He may also be having some tooth changes going on. I may stop this particular trick at least for now until I can be sure his teeth are happy- I might also try wrapping the handle with vetrap to give him something else to bite onto. With all training, we need to keep the Whole Horse in mind- vet issues, environmental issues, development issues etc!
