Such a trickster

As you know we have had Buckley in training for the last month or so. It is going pretty well... slowly but surely, we're seeing some changes in his behavior. He does really well when we are actively training him (aka when we have treats in our hand) but still has more energy than he knows what to do with for the rest of the day. Our trainer brought us this book called 101 Dog Tricks so that we could start channeling some of his energy into some great tricks, particularly ones that involve jumping (since he has such a charming natural affinity for it).

So, the first trick I picked out is "jump over my knee." It took Buckley about three days to master this one. :) Check it out:



The video is a little dark since it was last night, but hopefully you can see how awesome he did! Oh, and don't mind my PJ's. We were having a lazy night. Next up: jumping through a hula hoop. As soon as we can find a place to buy a hula hoop. It's only a matter of time until he's jumping through flaming rings of fire...

And yes, that's right, you still see unpacked boxes in the background. We haven't quite completed our furniture collection you see. And one of those pieces of furniture is one that would hold the things in those boxes. We're getting really really sick of seeing those boxes around, but what can ya do.

And just for fun, here is take one of that video. :) When we were about to start, Buckley let out this ridiculous belch that cracked us up.



That's it for now! I miss everyone!

Love,
Jenny
