Ingrid Rosenquist Webboard User Reg: 03-01-2005 Posts: 1132 Loc: Offline	Wow, I feel like an outlaw posting two new threads in less than 3 days :-p I was bored this evening and since I have decided to give Frost a break from obedience training for a bit, I thought I would teach her to balance things on her nose. My old boy Poe was a champion nose balancing dog: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3146/3136028143_91abedd0e0_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3128/3136028077_0bab538828_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3263/3136853214_84ba365f8b_o.jpg Frost turned out to be a quick study this evening literally learning to balance a ball on her nose in less than two minutes: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5203/5728556135_1b33576e4b_o.jpg Just another reason I love this little blue girl :-) http://www.psychtkennel.com

(LOVE that one) Perhaps one day :-) Poe was a master of the trade: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5029/5729132286_cf9f58d506_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3044/5729132370_a3070ee0d3_o.jpg Poe could sit up in the beg position and balance as well. Very steady dog. With that said, I am a big fan of Francis Metcalf and his training blog and youtube channel and am pondering doing some of this type of balance training: http://www.youtube.com/user/masterofhounds#p/u/4/gUiYAM0pgQ4 I also want to make one of those giant hamster wheels for her to walk on :-) http://www.psychtkennel.com

Love the pics. Poe was indeed a special guy... especially for not removing your left knee-cap after the parrot costume episode. (Great training btw....)
