Trick-ay Trick-ay

Last Friday I filled you in on the puppy progress and how much the dogs are growing.  I also mentioned their tricks.

Tomlin is better than Rooney at performing tricks, but he is coming along.  I told you that I would get a video of them performing their tricks.  I also used this video as a demonstration in my General Psychology class when I was lecturing on operant conditioning and shaping.  So at the beginning of the video there are some things pertaining to class, but just ignore those.  OR better yet, your homework is to go learn about these things and report back.

hehe just kidding; I just can’t help the professor in me!

This is Tomlin: she can respond to vocal commands and signed commands.  I might be biased, but she is brilliant!

This was the only trick we could get them to do while the camera was rolling.  Rooney is still a little dopey and trying to catch on to the trick-train, but he certainly understands the word “treat” lol
I think we’ve got a dog act!  Should we take them on the road?!
