Over, Under, Through, Pop...

My guys love targeting so I use that to help shape the tricks.  Once they understand the tricks then I make sure to praise all efforts but the only ones that get rewarded are when it's clean.  I mix up the rewards too.  Today rewards were cuddles where they like to be cuddles and treats!  Cuddles as a reward .... you need to watch their body language..if they're leaning in and enjoying it then you've got the right spot!  If they're leaning back and trying to escape....it's not a reward :P

Here's the jumping tricks we know so far.
