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 the behavior is unlikely as I have literally never seen him prance. I'm starting to wonder if corgis can do it at all because of their odd dimensions.

Hmm that's a hard one I think. Luke does prance when he's quite pleased with himself but I've never tried to actually capture the behavior. I'm not sure how I would go about teaching it either as most of the training vids I've seen are with tall dogs.
