This is like Sid's dog from Toy Story when he has the alien toy on his nose.

@PHILLYandBILLY I so forgot about that. OMG, that is funny. : )

great job!! The first picture,he looked just like our BH girl. She has a shorter and more black tail then your boy. What's your tip on how you got him to do that?

[sagptx]

I started off with putting a small treat on his nose. I would make sure his nose was level before I put the treat on & would tell him to wait. I also would do it at least 3 times in a row each time and praised him more for keeping his nose still with the treat on it than for catching the treat in his mouth. He caught on to what we wanted after about 3 or 4 days. Later I started putting the ball on his nose.
