I'm embarrassed to say this video was ready 5 months ago and I only just got around to uploading it now. Will try to get better!!

I'm so proud of Jasper, check it out!

Super impressive! But dont forget who gets the credit....it's not ALL Jasper (though admittedly he's the star).

Thanks guys!!! I am so proud of him, I still can't believe how he picks things up so easily. Sometimes he'll mix up the two colours but overall he does a great job (and I only do those about once a week)

Parrots are amazing!

Katie!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!? Just seeing this, but I am so impressed! This is huge! Like Jasper, my Eclectic Duo are currently capable of picking between two colors. But what I found particularly impressive is that you've gotten him comfortable with two distinct commands, touch AND fetch! Managing both concepts while picking out the right color adds a whole other level of difficulty to the exercise.

Most impressive, Katie and Jasper! This video made my day!

What i find funny is that Salty knows his colors but will screw around on purpose with my head , making mistakes right and left. But Oh Ho, if thats the first trick we do and he is hungry he gets evey one right.

Most impressive. I've been struggling with this for some time now, I mean Uglow, not me.
This is inspiring.

Start with one and just get him used to going to 'touch' on command. The rest will follow :)
