This is a video follow up to one of my more embarrassing posts: “Lumping It: A Public Service Announcement.” In that post I described, and showed in the video, how I repeatedly raised my criteria too quickly when trying to teach Zani to nose target a piece of tape that I first had in my hand but was working toward putting on the wall.
Zani bopping the wall. Sorry it’s blurry: that girl was moving fast!
Despite my errors, Zani is now doing a great job finding and touching tape and sticky notes on the wall, and enjoying doing so.
We have varied the objects: tape, sticky note, band-aid. We have varied the height a little but she doesn’t know yet that it is OK to get up on her hind legs to reach the target. That’s next!
Here is a link to the video for the WordPress email subscribers.
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for:
