Graduating to Advanced Training

Lillie and her trainer have spent this week focusing on hand signals to go along with all of the commands Lillie has learned. To do that they are using silent training, where her trainer only uses hand signals to communicate to Lillie what she wants her to do. Lillie is continuing to excel, and is always eager for treats and praise when she’s doing her tricks.

Lillie loves to play outside, and she and several other dogs have invented a new game that the trainers call “fencing”. The dogs run around the yard a few times, then bump their muzzles together, run and repeat.
