On the stretching... what do you do to make him stretch... what keeps him from just turning around on his feet to get the treat?

I figured you were gone for the day:)

Well, he just never turned. It took a few days to get him to stretch this far. At first it was like he'd lose track of the treat, so I gave it to him when he was about 1/2 way around at the first, and each time just move it back farther. I'd say if you have one that wants to turn, you are standing at their hip anyway, just reach around with the hand nearest him and put it on his off hip.

Getting them down between their front legs was more of a challenge then the ones around....he's gotten the hang of it, but it took longer, and more treats:)

I tried getting a picture of that, but I kept missing.

I would like to know the answer to that to! I have a hard time getting Blade to stand still.
