Smart cookie.
 I've been working with Gumbo on a new trick and he's really made some progress. In the middle of vigorous play, I'll get the toy and hold it just above his nose, sometimes touching it, and will tell him to 'wait' until I say OK before getting it. He's getting quite good at controlling those urges! My ultimate goal is to get him to balance a treat on his nose ... we'll see!

I've taught Kiska to do just that! And you are definately going about it the right way! It took us a long time, but he seems real smart so you may be doing it sooner than you know!

 He actually let me put a treat on his nose last night and waited til I gave the ok (looked a little cross-eyed!), but dropped it before eating it. He's so smart, but so STUBBORN. Getting him to do 'down' when he doesn't want to is like dealing with a cranky 3 year old.
