My humans were gone most of the day today but the female human took me for a short walk when they got home. We didn't walk much (maybe 1/4 a mile) because it was getting windy outside. When we got back home, she decided to teach me something new. She called it Target Training, which is a harder version of Touch.
On 'Touch' I just touch her hand or whatever she's holding in her hand with my nose or paw. With Target Training, I'm learning to touch whatever she points at which is at a further distance away. She started off with my toys and some cones at first and moved on to walls and random objects in the house. I was running around all over the place.
I wasn't very confident with this new exercise at first but she said I was catching on to it really fast and kept calling me a good dog. I like being called a good dog!
She also started saying "Left" or "Right" towards the end of training. I don't know what it means yet but I think it must be a new trick or game or something. At first I thought left and rights might be new treats but she kept dishing out those same old chunks of cheese at me.
She always has something up her sleeve and has a sneaky way of teaching me stuff. That's okay though. Today I got to exercise my brain and my body.
Tomorrow will probably be my rest day (at least, that's what the humans think)!
