We've probably had 5 training sessions working on new foot placement. She generalized pretty quick! The biggest problem was getting her to stay at my feet when I sat down - she wanted to come sit in my lap. Crazy dog Kenzi - further footwork training K-9 Knitter

Crazy dog Kenzi - further footwork training I'm looking at a crystal ball and I see a nicely trained BC balancing on the handler's feet while they are in the air. Maybe start the dog on a chair or something high in front of you till it learns to jump up on your feet. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

The balance on my feet is kinda what I was thinking, just been trying to figure out all the steps to get there. And I think I'm going to have to start doing leg exercises if I want to balance her on my feet like that... K-9 Knitter
