It's called Touch and if I touched her hand with my nose I got a treat. Only problem: Touch and Tux sound a lot alike, don't you think? I did fine with the game though. Love those treats. Then, oh this gets good, we went for a walk! I really shouldn't call it a walk. I got to run and fetch an old tennis ball. We didn't bring along the Chuck-It because it is real muddy out where we went. We didn't want to spoil my nice orange and blue ball. Or it could have gotten lost! Yikes! But it worked just fine with the old faded ball. While I was sniffing stuff, I would drop the ball and leave it there. Mom would pick it up and throw it. I would run and fetch. Good times! When we got over the ditch I was able to run ahead on the little road (don't worry, no vehicles this time of year) and sniff tons of good sniffing stuff. So many different kinds of scents, I can't even begin to identify them. There had been cows for sure. Mom was glad I was carrying my ball by then and didn't try to sample a cow pie. We got to a gate and turned around and headed back. When we got over the ditch again Mom put a leash on me. She didn't want me running ahead into the road where there might have been some vehicles. I walked pretty good on the leash, of course, I was going a bit slower on the way back. We haven't been off the place in months. I got a good drink when I got back in our yard. I couldn't get in the garage for a cat food snack. The door was closed. :-( Now I am relaxing inside. I think Mom is going to trim my nails in a bit. Then it will be about time for the Schnauzers to come home. Sure hope I can go for another walk/run/fetch time real soon.]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1005368/diary/Tuxs_tabs/713844 Sun, 6 Mar 2011 05:51:13 PST Tux ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1005368/diary/Tuxs_tabs/713844 Mom received an email from the shelter people that took me in.

Well, it happened! ... Professor Chester\'s Canine Life Skills class. You can take a look at our previous classes. He asked me to bark on my favorite thing in the whole wide world. Here is my lecture. You can see my demonstration video on my page. I Fetch Like a Fool and I Feel Fine! Now, most dogs probably have a "fetch drive". If they don't, they probably had something traumatic happen to them when they were puppies. Maybe they were dropped on their heads or something. I don't know. There are lots of different things we use when we fetch. You might prefer Frisbees. Some professional type dogs might use training decoys. If you are on a budget or out hiking you can grab a stick. Some dogs might fetch small children or kitty cats. I wouldn't recommend those last two items. Myself, I admit it. I have B.O. Ball Obsession! There are many different kinds of balls available. Round balls. Flat balls. Smooth balls. Fuzzy balls. My ball of choice is an inexpensive tennis ball. They are light enough for a person to lob for you. I don't think a bowling ball would make a good choice for fetching. You wouldn't want someone to get hurt. That would end the game real fast. Let's get right to technique because it is so important. You see, you have to train your person how to play! What is a game of fetch if there is no one to throw the ball for you? Right, boor-ring. So here we go. You get your stick or ball or what have you. You find an accommodating, playful person. Now get this, it is important. You lay the ball within their reach. We don't want this to become a game of tug-o-war. And if your person has to walk any distance to pick up the ball, we are defeating the purpose of the game. *We* are to fetch, the person doesn't want to have to fetch the ball. Your person may say something like "drop it" or "release". Whatever they say be sure you place the ball within their reach. They will soon learn that you want them to throw the ball. Most humans pick up on this very quickly. Here is where it gets exciting! As soon as they throw the ball or frisbee, you run, run, run! Go get it! Run like the dog catcher is after you! You might work on catching the ball in mid-air but I caution you. I know of dogs who have injured themselves this way. You don't want the game to end due to a trip to the emergency vet. I prefer to catch the ball as it rolls along the ground. Watch out for obstacles. You might have your eye on the ball and run smack dab into a tree! When you have the ball firmly in your mouth, return to the person playing with you. Repeat the "drop it" near their feet. I have found most people lazy in this regard. They want you to bring the ball right to them. They don't want to walk to you. The game will continue much more quickly if you put the ball at their feet. They will soon catch on that you want them to throw the ball again. Throw, chase, retrieve, return, repeat. Repeat and repeat as long as the daylight lasts and you can still see the ball or the person has to go ice their arm, whichever comes first. It is good to take a break every now and then. Please keep hydrated! You can even play your fetch game inside. I use a soft egg shaped squeaky ball. Nothing gets broken when Mom, who does throw like a girl, plays with me inside. There you have it. That is it in a nutshell.

I have barked about the ... Star Wars movies you will know of the Jedi Force Suggestion or Jedi Mind Trick. Here is how I use that. I look at a tennis ball that is within reach. I look at the person that is closest. I look at the tennis ball again. I look at the person again. I can usually get the trick to work. The person will reach down, grab the ball and throw it for me to retrieve! It usually works, unless Mom has her hands full of the laundry basket, groceries or gardening tools. It sometimes works when she in on pooper scooper patrol and has the tools in her hands! Hey! Maybe you can try the Jedi Mind Trick on a person to get them to play or give you treats!]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1005368/diary/Tuxs_tabs/614195 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 10:13:15 PDT Tux ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1005368/diary/Tuxs_tabs/614195 Up until this morning, I was usually seen Velcro-ed to Mom.
