I've had in mind taking my 3-month-old puppy to 30 new places in 30 days, but he keeping getting tired, stressed out, etc. Maybe he's more of a homebody like me. Shorter stays in the new place might work.

He barks at me whenever he is frustrated. He's like, "What do you want me to do?!" Ace does the same thing, especially when we first started working on this. He barks at me whenever he is frustrated.

Penny's not as food obsessed as the Shelties are, but you never know, I'll have to give it a try and see. She gets frustrated quickly and barks at me, like..."what is wrong with you? Just pick up the ball and throw it like you always do!" Maries last blog post..<a href="http://www.resqtails.com/2008/07/29/cat-agility/" rel="nofollow">Cat Agility?</a> That might help.

He does pretty well if I say "bucket" and point to the bucket when he has a ball in his mouth. He is figuring out that I don't throw it unless he puts it in the bucket. That is enough motivation for a ball-obsessed mutt. I am trying to get to the point where I don't have to point, and then to the point where I don't have to stand right next to the bucket. It's a hard one for us. Does it work to give Penny a treat when she does it right? This doesn't work for Ace because he cares more about the ball than he does food. Ace is still learning, Marie.

I've tried with Penny, but our success has been very low. It usually only works at all if I hold the bucket in front of me and it just happens to be in the right spot when she drops it. LOL Far from ideal! If you have any hints that might be help us I'd love to hear them.
