Blessi Liberty Work--value of peanut

My friend Judy and I decided to clicker train Blessi to trot over poles. Instead of applying pressure from behind, we offered him a click and a peanut from the front. Normally when Blessi is pressured to trot over the poles, he does it in a put-upon, sloppy, this is so stooopid manner. This our third attempt to get him to trot the poles for a peanut. Blessi offers much more enthusiasm, a bit of almost piaffe, and almost Spanish walk.

When we put the poles away, Blessi stood by the poles in the corner and refused to walk away. He really wanted us to come back and play some more.
Sorry for the small screen and darkness of the video. I never do well with another person's cell phone camera.
