Lancelot training at petco. We're trying something new at the end of the video. Apparently he only likes to take things TO me and not FROM me to someone else.. lol. We'll work on it. This is his first time being trained to do it. He did it on his own at the zoo with his water bowl, which was a huge surprise to me. Now I'm trying to teach him to do it on command. After that is mastered, then we will use that command to tell him to "go get ...... and bring it to mom" or "go get ....... and take it to .......".
We also practiced distraction training and socialization with small animals while at petco. The only animals he was interested in were guinea pigs, ferrets, mice, and fish. He didn't care about anything else, which surprised me because at the zoo he was pointing at the snakes to show me where they were. We're working on teaching him to point at all snakes to alert me if we ever see one out of a tank..
His "stay" is also getting GREAT! I walked out of his sight, around a few isles and then back and then I went halfway across the store before he thought he should get up. We're working on not getting up at all unless I tell him to or unless he needs to alert me. More videos to come soon!
