Mikey's reflection

I learned a lot of things during this passion time. I learned how to teach a dog many tricks including shake, sit, speak, and rollover. I also learned the tests that they give dogs who are training to be guide dogs. The most fun thing was learning how to teach a dog how to shake and learning what guide dogs have to do.. Sadly, I never got to actually teach any dogs. I would have taught my dog to do the tricks but I don't have a dog. The most difficult thing was learning the steps to communicating with dogs. This was hard because the videos were kind of confusing. The thing that was  the easiest was learning how to teach simple tricks like sit. For example, all you have to do for sit is hold a treat over there head. Next time I would probably go over to a friends and teach tricks to there dog. some advice I would give is to start with the easier tricks, then get on to the advanced ones. I say that because it gets harder to teach dogs more advanced tricks because there is more steps involved in teaching the trick. It also gets harder to get the dog to comply with what your trying to teach it.

Ian's reflection

I learned about everything I really wanted to know. I learned how to teach dogs tricks, training, and ways you can communicate with your dog. The thing I had the most fun learning about was how you could teach your dogs crazy things like opening a door. I had fun learning about this because I never thought that dogs could be so intelligent to the level where they can tell the different between different objects. I enjoyed knowing this things so I could try it on my dog. The Thing I liked the most was seeing all the cool tricks you could teach your dog. I was able to try some tricks on my dog and it was super fun. I was actually able to teach my dog to go in a circle which is pretty cool. The thing I had a problem was knowing which way when training a dog was the best. There was over five to ten way to make your dog to listen to you but I didn't know which was the best one. The thing that was the easiest for me was finding way to teach your dogs certain tricks. For example I searched how to teach your dog to roll and a bunch of information popped up on it. If I had another chance I would have wanted to do a video of me teaching my dog some of the things I learned. Some advice I would give to someone is that it might be hard to teach your dog these thing but they aren't as hard as they seem. I would also tell someone that you might think teach your dog is not fun but if you do it with a fun purpose you will have the time of your life.
