Ninja was horribly afraid of this swing and but my goal is to get him to jump through. Today we simply let him touch the swing and have him realize even though it is wiggly it remains harmless.
Training Swing, Day 1
Ninjas facial expression turns wolfy …
I love when this happens … the gentle, friendly appearance of husky Ninja turns archaic … almost wolflike and you expect him to chase after what he sensed …

Some starts with the Scooter
Siberian Husky Ninja likes pulling the scooter, but true pulling power unleashes as soon as we meet horses …

This is our first training with a scooter. Slow, faster and hard working passages … This went very smooth and it is the very first time, he actually pulled through ..

Ninja attending a Horse Show
At the easter week end I happened to stand in the middle of a horse show on the way home … and to my surprise it went really well … so I decided to attend another horse show this week and today for more practice.
As you can see Ninja is quite excited but he does listen to commands now …

Ninja and Zora, a lovestory
The lovestory of Siberian Husky Ninja (D’Ninja vom Wolfstor) and Tamaskan Zora (Saxon Slavyanka).
This Outcross Litter (for more blood lines) at Slyvaen Tamaskan resulted in 10 beautiful puppies.

Ninja learns „bark!“
Barkin‘ dog … „Big Deal, huh?“ you may think … yet, it was the most difficult command to teach …
How do you teach a silent, quiet dog „bark!“? Ninja never barks, never howls … it is almost as if he was mute. Just now and then when I command him to go „back!“ more than a few times in a row, he ‚complains‘ with something that resembles a woof.
I have used the past weeks‘ evening exercise to have Ninja walk backwards until he let out his ‚complain‘ … (you can see this int he first 20 seconds of the video) and rewarded him with a „YES!“ …
Sadly, after 2 or 3 barks he stops the woofing altogether … It was just the day before this video was taken that he realized what I wanted him to do … ofc it is not perfect, yet … but he knows the trick and simply requires more repetitions!
Also you can notice that he has still the tendency to go backwards, on „bark“ („Bell!“ in German) … This requires some fine tuning …. and the worse part is to unteach him to bark on „go back!“ 😀
I am so happy that he managed to learn the command at all. The irony … other people want their dogs to be quiet and I teach mine to bark 😀
