Geyser, when told to "step," will put her front feet on a raised rubber feed bin (turned over). She can circle in each direction around the bin with her back feet on the floor now, all 360 degrees. That's great.
Next, we started "all four," which means for her to get all four feet up on the bin. She made it on the first session, and by the third, could do it reliably on cue, each time. Great.
Now for the spit-inducer. I've been wanting her to be able to get on my weight scale, which is about 12" square. It's digital, so you have to pop it first and wait for the zeros to come up, so there is a slight timing issue, since if you don't time it right, you get an error reading.
This morning, I decided to try it with her. She got "all 4" immediately, but our timing was off. On about the third try, she got it right...and so now I can weigh her easily by just telling her to get on the scale with "all 4" :fluffy: . Eventually, when she's got the behavior really down, I'll just say, "get on the scale."
BTW. she weighs 31.5 lbs at 16 weeks...she's grown so much!
