From perch to table?

Postby dohcsvt » Wed Dec 07, 2011 9:57 pm

I have been training my boys on the perch for so long, that when I put them on the table they flutter back to the perch. This is not really an issue, just that I am restricted on the tricks that I can do. Any suggestions on how to get them back to the table?

Yeah, keep them busy on table. Whether its toys, targeting, cuing tricks, etc. Show them it's where the fun is at.

I agree, this will help to get them used to the table. After they are comfortable with the table again, I would use half a training session on the perch and half on the. Table, this will keep them used to both.
