Hit Me On the Head


We have some little kibble sized treats that we use to put inside the Kong toys with peanut butter. Ken decided that he would use those treats to teach the dogs a trick. He was trying to get Emme and Rudy to catch a treat when he tossed it to them. Both dogs sit about three feet in front of Ken. He tosses one treat to each of them so they can catch it. Rudy is pretty good. He catches the treat almost every time. Emme doesn't seem to understand the game. I think she thinks the game is: you toss a treat; it hits me on the head; it falls on the floor, and I bend over and eat it. She isn't any better at catching the treat than she is playing fetch. She has other talents. Like just being cute.

Yes, being cute is definitely one of Emme's talents!

Cute post.

Bandit used to "catch" treats, his ball, etc. the same way. Then, seemingly overnight, he learned how to actually catch things with his mouth. Unfortunately, there were 3 or 4 years of gentle blows to the head with various treats and toys before he developed this skill. Good luck!
