One of the thing's I want to be able to use in training is toys. It mean's if I want to do Agility, 1. I don't need a treat bag 2. I don't have to worry about how many treats he's had and 3. I think he'll run faster for a toy.
So I started tug today, I (or my sister) started doing a "crazy" voice and moving the toy around and basically acting crazy! And he tugged, tugged & tugged! I also did a few throw's with a ball! So I'm just working on getting him to play/tug, not work for the toy straight away!
I've also been doing "swimming training" which is going well, we achieved standing on a plank of wood in the pool (it was dry on the wood) with the pool full! *
I'm going to order him a "bungee faux rabbit toy" it has a hoop with bungee in it with a tube of fake rabbit skin on.
And a "fleecy ring thing" which is a bit like the pompom but it's a ring and smaller - the pompom wasn't a success overall (I should have checked the size) as it was too big really!
* The "pool" is a paddling pool and really shallow.
