Percy on cue at 2.AVI

This is a little video of the cues which Percy knows-
"touch"- to touch his nose to the cone
"take it"- to pick something up with his teeth (in this case his party streamer)
a touch on the chest to back up
a touch on the poll for head down (he avoids the touch here by ducking away but does put his nose on the ground)
my hand presented as a fist is for him to touch with his nose
Because he is so very busy, it's easier for him if I keep throwing cues at him than it is to quietly wait for a cue. He's young, so I just keep him busy and am trying to remember to do lots of little waiting exercises to improve his self control. This was filmed on his second birthday.
