The thrown toy didn't work when I trained Pirate, I had him run to a stationary toy. I suppose that might not work for everyone, but Pi was always happy to run to his ball.

That's a good idea. I'm starting with the new clicker board in about 10 minutes.... I think the stationary toy is the way to go at this point.

I am a fan of a targets for RDWs.

So also going to a target - i.e. stationary toy (since a MM is out of the equation)?

Since Teague is trained already, I assume he drives well for a tunnel? With Loki, because a thrown ball would make him INSANE and unable to physically control his legs, I almost straight away had him driving to a tunnel and then coming to me to get his reward.

Thanks. Oh yeah, driving for a tunnel would work :)

you could have just turned the Manners Minder around... yes? ;)

I don't envy you this... it's got all the ingredients for a crazy-making cake!

[teaguestoy]

Crazy cake and I are are best pals!!! So, this should be perfect :)
And, um, MM, I like the way you think (smarty pants), but I really wanted to reward him for going away from me, not going out, looking for a toy, jumping a visible jump, then returning to find the MM. It doesn't seem like a lot to ask for....
