Butt Work

Quinn's butt not mine!
I haven't posted in a while, but I'm working with Quinn on getting him to move rear sideways (lateral movement) instead of just his front half.
Using Shirley's methods I'm working on teaching him to move his rear to a finger point and a verbal command. He's slowly getting the idea.
A method I'd been taught by Shirley then reinforced by Betty (a T-touch practitioner) I've been having Quinn walk through a ladder like object. In this case I've been using a set of 4 weave poles tipped on their side. It seems to be helping a little, though he was very frightened of them at first. This helps them to think about their body and learn that they have a rear end.
On Missy's training I've been working on teaching her tricks. I've practiced crawling, rolling over and 'begging'. She's gotten a little confused on nose touches versus, hitting something with her paw. I'll be working on that.
