prince's training

[gemini84]

prince's training sessions have been going great. we now have shake down pact. i can get him to do it 3 times without a treat but if i go for a fourth he refuses unless he sees the treat.
the only thing that works atm is sunflower seeds. have tried almonds, pine nuts, sultanas but they wont take them.
he is a cheeky momkey tho. we are working on recall and he is doing pretty well. ill occasionally try get him to come with out a seed in my hand used to perch on (have in other hand behind back) and when he does i open my other hand with the seeds. i have to be quick to ckose it back up as he will stick one under his tongue and grab a second.

im so proud of my boys. oxy is doing well also. he is starting to step up on command again and also trying to shake (i think he just being lazy cause sees prince getting a treat for just 1 foot lol)

Wow sounds like you are doing great. My guys know a few tricks, but I am gonna start working on more.

thank you, prince is going better then i could have hoped for. to be honest apart from step up i hadn't done any trick training with them until last week. we are also working on flip... he gets as far as hanging upside down
