@@jemmacarpenter So far, she is not crossing her paws over one when I put the stick on one her side. Not sure how I can remedy that. Any ideas? She did start touching the stick though, but no sign of crossing. I started right after your video today. Thank you for such swift reply!
@ It does take time as it’s not a natural movement for them. Build lots of value and understanding for targeting the stick with their paw in front first before crossing over and when you do start to cross I placed the stick on top of the other paw initially and then gradually moved further over a little each time! Keep me posted and good luck! 🤞🏻
@ I will sure let you know! My collie is Arizona rescue 2 year old, she’s been with me 3 months now. She’s clever little monkey but I have a lots of fun with her. I will keep practicing :) and let you know the progress!
@@DidiDuff-s5o sorry to hear this! When introducing a target (such as a spatula) be sure to reward any engagement with it - you may have to just show the spatula from behind your back and reward each time to start with to build a positive association before moving forward with the target training. Check out my hand target video for some extra tips on introducing a new target! 🎯

Hi Jemma!
I am at the stage, where I use my hands to cover her legs, but how do I make her to hold pose for longer duration please?
Thank you
Peter
