Thankful Thursday - Positive Training!

Hachi has absolutely endless energy these days. He has so much energy that he easily creates mischief around the house if we aren't careful. We burn off some of it by playing with him outside when it's warm and sunny like it's been recently.

Mental games also seem to work in tiring him out. So, when a box arrived in the mail the other day, I decided to use it for a training game with Hachi. The game was to use a clicker and treats to try to get him to sit in the box. It worked!

Check out the video here.


Yet again, I am thankful for Positive Training on this Thankful Thursday. I also thank Brian for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

    That's awesome! And it's similar to what I did with Maggie -- just for extra stimulus, exercise, bonding, trust ... you know. Of course, now she wants to jump into every box she sees. :)
    Hachi is such a fast learner!

    Oh my goodness, that Hachi is SO smart. We loved the way he looked at you after he would just touch the box, like OK, where is my treat?
