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 😀

Ninja in Slowmotion
First time „back with obstacle“, outside.
Ninja always tries to avoid obstacles when going back. Usually by sitting at its side instead. So I taught him to go „straight back“ even with obstacle and this is our first outdoor try … the little tree at first. Notice how funny he moves his paws? 😀
Then he does the „I’ll rather sit here instead“ avoidance again. So lovely that he tried anyhow … and the last attempt was quite good actually ♥

Ninja totally unmotivated :D
Training often starts with Ninja not really in the mood for sleddog duties 😀 It gets better formt here, but the start is always rather slow …

Don’t touch the chicken wing!
Yeah, I know … it is evening here, rainy dark outside … and I am not using a light … This is better, because Ninjais changing fur atm. The greyish carpet is actually blue … this is 1 day without vacuuming 😀
If you look closely you will notice that my sleeve has hair on it, too …
