Humor? All that really happened, Sweed, non-fiction. = }
She's real sharp. Barking on command is always a crowd favorite but she can run backwards, how cool is that? Back back back back back and she runs backward.

How far back can she run???
You should take the barking a step further, and have it look like she's counting :) A subtle enough stop signal and everyone will be convinced she can multiply and divide!!!
She's so sharp dude. She'll be two next month. I'm not kidding, the past 4 months and we'll continue today, tomorrow, etc all we do is fine tune her commands.
She knows Czech, so 'heel' isn't a command, for example, that command is called 'patah.' Her torso will brush against my left side (heel is left) the whole time. Took awhile to work in that, she liked a little separation. Now she brings it in tight, same pace as I slow or speed up. So much fun.
No lead, of course.
She'll keep running backwards til you break her, "prerusini!!"
Charge forward at me and stop at my feet like brand new brakes, "savatsisemi!"
She doesn't count but she does have a "whisper," that's really neat, chomp chomp without a bark, you just hear her teeth chattering.
That's so awesome!!! You could have her counting within 5 minutes, just teach her the new extremely subtle stop to either the whisper or bark :) With the whisper, ask her how many chomps she'd like to give that trainer who expelled her for being a good gorilla 🤣
How did you teach the backwards run? Most dogs are ok walking backwards with practice, but running?!?!
Obviously not her full speed but Yes'ir, a backwards gallop we'll call it. She taught me that one, believe it or not.
She was a real young puppy, I was in the garage piping drainage for the water heater. Well, she'd come between the cars to me and want to play while I was working so I'd tell her 'back.. get back..' and she trotted backward.
Then, as though she turned it into a game; while I was working she's coming charging through the cars until I said back, and she'd gallop backwards all the way out the garage.
Since then I've only perfected it but I didn't teach her that one. She taught me.
While I got you, you'll appreciate this one. So, I'm a city boy, right, living rurally now, comfortable, but undoubtedly outta my element.
Couldn't find venison anywhere.
Asked the meat dude finally at the counter, "where might I find venison?"
He went on to tell me about his favorite hunting spot and then told me all about the 4-pointer his brother got. Twangy, hillbilly accent, I just listened. From what I gather, it's not a store item, apparently you gotta kill it yourself or know someone who did.
Maybe you can find a guide who works with people who only want the antlers? I do remember seeing venison in catalogs years ago, but maybe things have changed...
Too bad there's no set way to teach the backwards gallop, that's one that could be fun!
What's happening, buddy? I guess a late response is better than no response.
I would imagine that with all of the downtime you've had, Atlas has been a real blessing, keeping boredom at bay. That's some cool tricks you've taught her. I'm sure she has the give me your paw and turn over down commands down. What's next, standing up on two legs? Get her to stand up on her two front legs along with the other commands she follows and then you can take her on the road to perform.
The last week and a half we've been balls to the wall. You know what time of the year it is right, MAPLE SYRUP TIME. I haven't posted in a while, but I'm putting one together on making that sweet nectar.
I hope the knee and the hand are coming along, otherwise you may have to teach Atlas how to cart your ass around. 😁
We've been blessed again with another grandchild just a week or so ago.
Peace
What?! Congrats bigger than THIS. How exciting. Spring time at your place is on.
Member that piece awhile back about she injured her foot? Would you believe she just reinsured it at the dog park??
Mhm, Gotta keep her down again.
Much love you guys.
I was just kidding about teaching Atlas to stand on her two front legs, hopefully that's not how the injury happened. Good luck keeping her down.
