Mission Dog-Possible: The Hunt for Squirrels

 Meet Benny: 

A Sweet , Lovable, Snuggle-pup
and Notorious Squirrel Chaser. 

Here is his Archenemy: The Squirrel

Our Mission: To teach Benny not to Chase Squirrels 

or to Come When Called.

Our dilemma has been not finding any Squirrel Distractions. You would think in a city known for Maple Syrup we would be overrun with squirrels!! Not our luck and we have tried! I have taken Benny numerous places to practice with not a sight of any squirrels. So as not to waste our time we practiced Coming when Called. Benny is now a champ at that.

So what do you do if you can't find a squirrel? You build one!

Remote Control Motorized Squirrel

Prologue: 

1. Dogs must get use to strange Squirrel like item. 
2. Dogs must not be afraid of crazy sounds and movement.
3. Dogs need to be interested enough to chase it. 

Check this out!

Now Benny gets his chance!




Epilogue:
Benny finally gets the chance to chase a squirrel. Interesting turn of events: maybe the lack of squirrel chasing over the past few days has decreased Benny's desire because in the video clip it takes a bit of prompting for Benny to even go after the squirrel. Once he does, I let him check out the situation, call him Come and he returns a Hero!

This film is not edited and I let Benny do his own acting.
