What.

Shasta has gotten increasingly more comfortable with 'shake' since the last post but she is a very slow learner when it comes to anything new. That is why I decided that the next trick should be 'wave' because it builds off of 'shake.' Shasta has been through traumatic events so she is a bit off and needs to go slow.
While teaching Shasta how to 'wave', she showed many signs of confusion. She does not enjoy doing anything new or out of the ordinary, so it was difficult for her. After reading the tips from the book and repeating the steps for teaching her, she began to understand more but is still a bit fuzzy. She just wants to do 'shake' and me to give her the dang treat.
Although, she has improved. She still needs more practice.
A tip from the book that helped the most was "This time, move your hand up higher than you usually do for 'shake' so your dog is reaching up to get your hand."(Fogle 12)

For the longest time, Shasta would just look at me very confused, or as I call it the "what" face. But she is getting much better at trying new things. Should I try and push her more out of her comfort zone?
