Teaching Ilse CatchMarch 19th, 2007 @ 10:35 am
Yesterday afternoon, Donna from Dog Sense suggested to teach Ilse to catch; so I have been looking up websites that can tell me how to teach Ilse this trick: I then found a website that told me that if the dog catches the treat it eats it, and when the dog doesn’t catch it the dog doesn’t get it.
I then tried this with Ilse, and it just became a race to who gets the dropped treat off the floor first (perhaps she is too young.)
So therefore as I thought teaching her to catch was a good idea I’ll wait until she is older. Ilse is also a smart dog, and a quick learner.
The website that told me how to teach “catch” and other tricks is: http://www.newhopecattledogs.com/tricks.htm

I think it would be hard to stop a dog from eating the treat after throwing it to them! You would need to be very quick.

I just noticed you inserted a web site link into this post. I didn’t know you knew how to do that. Well done Jo!
