I've tried clicker training Lily once or twice but she hasn't been getting it. I tried it again tonight and she finally got it! Woohoo! I love it when a dog figures out on its own what it is you want.

I started easy. I got the balance ball out and sat it in the middle of the room. I clicked her for sniffing it, looking at it, whatever. It took a good 10 mins for her to make the connection between her interacting with the ball and the clicker/treat. Once she figured it out though, it was the cutest thing! She is so dainty about touching with her nose. That is the complete opposite of my other dogs. Dakota doesn't just touch with her nose, she bites things when I tell her to touch. Neiko will slam his nose in to things with huge enthusiasm. Lily just barely touches the object but she's very deliberate and she does it soooo cute.

Then I rotated the other 2 dogs and had them interact with the balance ball. In no time both dogs were rolling the big balance ball around the room.

I really need to find myself another trick book. I'm running out of ideas!
