Wow! I hooked up Tango and Teddy this evening and we had a great run! Other than the fact that he hasn't figured out that we don't stop to say "Hi" when running, Tango has picked up all of the basics, and he's progressing pretty well on that one too.
It was fast, almost exhilarating.
We had school aftterwards, and Tango has learned shake but he seems to be a southpaw.
We also practiced jumping through the hoop again. It's a little tough because his legs are so long he gets them caught in the hoop.
Then, for the finale, I got the horrible idea of having both Teddy and Tango sit and then lie down in unison. Don't know what I was thinking, but it ain't easy doing a doggie drill team, even with only two of them! They were so concerned that the other one was going to get something, or take something that wasn't his, that they had a very hard time focusing on their own business. Lots of trying to cheat and get both treats, lots of on dog lies down the other gets up. Eventually, however, we managed to do it a couple of times. I think it's probably good practice for them to have to control their competitive urges and cooperate with each other instead.
