We're in intermediate training right now, and my boy has already aced everything and learned some advanced skills, so me and my trainer spend our time practicing what he'll need to know to get his CGC and parading around the "store mascot" as he's come to be known...
Last training session we learned, "take it", but I have only done it with toys. Today I thought I'd be funny and tell Moose "take it" and passed him a sock. Wasn't I in for a surprise when he grabbed it and carried it for me, and dropped it next to my boots so I could put it on! Who cares if it was a bit moist, he did a great job and was so proud of himself! He's never carried any non-toy item for me before, let alone taken something on cue that wasn't a toy or food.
I'm continually amazed by this breed and their capacity to learn and forgive our mistakes. Now if only I could teach him to go up and down the stairs
