[nagdu] Finding chairs?

[Daryl Marie]

LOL
Jenny is usually pretty good at finding EMPTY chairs as opposed to full ones.

I used the treat suggestion, and what do ya know... she found 3 chairs with the backs facing her! YAY!

jenny is really funny sometimes, because if we've been somewhere before she will often want to go to the same seat we've sat in before.  This is usually not a problem, but occasionally the seat may not be occupied, but the table is....

I clicker trained Chase to "find the chair."  It even works on BART trains.  However, I need to teach him to discriminate whether the chair is occupied or empty.  Occasionally he lays his nose on the knee of someone sitting in the side facing disabled seats.  I guess that's not entirely a bad thing. 
  
I haven't noticed any issues with chairs pushed in.

hey, 

Been working with Jenny on finding chairs lately, and I noticed one thing she struggles with is finding chairs that are pushed in and/or have full arms (a la a couch).  She does fantastic with benches, and pretty good with chairs that are out... does anyone ahve any pointers on this, or just keep working on it?
