I have jars that contains supplements I buy in bulk. I keep telling myself to be careful about picking them up, because I will drop one of them one day.<br /><br />I've become more graceful in the kitchen. I have at least 2 dogs supervising meal prep time or raw feeding "cooking" days and I have to maneuver around paws and tails while I'm making food.Kimberly Gauthier, Dog Nutrition Blogger for Keep the Tail Wagginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021211954887075184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-35339333361702114662016-02-09T19:15:04.506-07:002016-02-09T19:15:04.506-07:00I loved the paint story!!!

I...I loved the paint story!!! You had me laughing.<br /><br />I often mess up when training tricks but, you're right, dogs are incredibly forgiving. They keep trying to figure out what I want them to do even after I've been so confusing that their heads must be spinning! My biggest error (consistently) is increasing the difficulty too fast. I am truly realizing that as I am taking a Fenzi nosework course. As I await a new lecture to be posted, I think about what *I* would do next. It's almost always a far bigger leap than our instructor has us make!<br /><br />I do love that some of the top trainers encourage humans to practice their "mechanics" before trying a training step with their dogs. Even though it often feels silly, it helps me a lot.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-28200651801063202162016-02-06T09:54:00.833-07:002016-02-06T09:54:00.833-07:00Oh my gosh, that video!

Our trainer constantly reminds us that the quality of our training depends on the quality of our rewards--I gave up on clicker trainer long ago because I am not coordinated enough in class to hold a leash, give verbal praise and click, and give a treat. Luckily, Barley accepts me the way I am ;)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497873574218444965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-33866949859322011802016-02-02T07:46:56.742-07:002016-02-02T07:46:56.742-07:00Dogs are SO forgiving, it is one of the best thing...Dogs are SO forgiving, it is one of the best things about them.

Thanks! I do think the honesty in "opps! I screwed up" and the creativity in "how do we do this better" are truly the best parts of positive training with out pets. That, and the enthusiasm so perfectly displayed by Ruby here.
