Force fetch, soft style

I'm working on little 5 minute drills where Larsen has to "take" and hold an object for 30 seconds, a minute, or thereabouts and until I say "give".  I decided to formalize the exercise by putting Larsen on the grooming  table.

Sometimes I let him sit or hup and sometimes I make him stand. I walk around him and tap the object and might periodically remind him to hold.

Thanks to Kim's work at Pocataligo Kennels, Larsen knows exactly what to do with a "take" and "give".

Larsen expresses some curiosity about the camera while he waits for the "give" command.
