So yesterday I was really disappointed. I was sure that I was just doing something wrong. It seemed that John had forgotten what I had taught him. He didn't want to follow the target at all. And he seemed to be really bored.
Today things have gone better. This morning we got up and did some more training. He did really well. He jumped onto the bed. He also just couldn't touch the target enough. This evening went just as well. He jumped onto the bed and I held the target in the air. He got on his hind legs and used his front paws to grab the target and touch it with his nose. Not only did it show me that the training was working, but it was really cute too. :)
