Some progress in training

It's been a while since I posted an update on here but things have been busy at home :)  Tsu'tey is now almost 9 months old and just as silly as ever, as you can see from the spinning video I posted before this.  I made a fresh batch of peanut butter biscuits for the dogs yesterday afternoon, Tsu'tey very much approved.  He spent an hour last night in the kitchen, do a spin, look at the counter, do a spin, look at the counter, etc.  I got up and started working with him with some of the new biscuits I made and we have made some progress in his training (as much as you can call it training).  He still won't sit with a hand signal but if I just set my hand on his back he will sit (not pushing down, just needs a touch).  Pairing that with a hand signal and a treat every time he does it but he hasn't connected the hand signal with sitting yet.  I can get him to down as well if I set my hand on his back after he's done a sit and then move the cookie down to the floor.  Hopefully he'll figure out the signals eventually, but it's progress none the less :)  So long as I have food, his attention to me is very good which is what my original goal was - to get him to pay attention to me and watch me as we can't proceed much further until he was doing that.

Will hopefully have some new videos to add to his blog soon ;)
