Yesterday, Ace and Grâce, his 5 month old Boxer puppy girlfriend, spent close to two hours playing and chasing each other around. They get along splendidly and Ace loves to be chased and rolled around by his long-legged lady. She is an extremely high-drive dog and her intensity is sometimes frustrating for her owner, a friend of ours who works very odd hours. As such, he does not often have time to work with her, and I have seen some of the damage she's done in his flat as a result of her…

Hey all, Ace has been a wonderful student so far with his clicker training and I have decided to try and graduate to intermediate behaviors in order to challenge him. One trick I'd like to teach him is "prance" - that is, the bouncy, feet picked-up gait that you can sometimes see in rhythmic obedience. The problem is, I know how to teach this to dogs with "normal" legs, not so much for Ace's dwarf stumps.

Have any of you had success in teaching a corgi to prance? Free-shaping…
