I started doing some trick training with saleen to keep her thinking even when I don't feel like doing some of the more formal training. I also want to keep her intersted and the new tricks keep things new and fun 
I am teaching her to jump though a hula hoop. She's getting pretty good at it now, though big goofy puppy that she is she still doesn't have awareness of her feet lol. A lot of the time she kind of falls through the hoop because she doesnt pick those big huge paws of hers up. Working on that though.
I debated started using the work "Tire" which I picked up from the agility classes I used to hlep teach (blah what a horrid time that was!!). Since I was toying with the idea of doing agility with Beanie I though tire would be ok. I often forget it though and my blonde brain just doesn't take "tire" and associate it with a hula hoop. So I switched and started saying " hoop" and have been using that with sucess. Now hubby is making fun of me and says it sounds like I'm running around the backyard saying "salen poop, poop!" Jerk.
I'm sick of hearing it lol so I need a new word, we're still early enough in the training that a switch will be no big thing. Any ideas?
