[nagdu] I am training Neechee to find the poop piles so I can pick up after the dogs in my yard

[Mardi Hadfield]

After my last hospitalization,and mild heart attack,I find that I have lost
even more of my sight.I decided to teach Neechee to show me where the poop
piles are so I will still be able to pick up after my dogs,if I should
loose what little sight I do have left.There are currently 8 dogs here.2
are retired service dogs,2 are pets,2 are my guide dogs and 2 are rescue
dogs that I am fostering and training.That is a lot of poop that must be
picked up every day according to our local law.I can't really afford to
hire some one to do it for me so I thought this would be a good way to go.
I am using clicker training and lots of praise as Neechee is not at all
food motivated. She does however thrive on attention and praise.It is
working quite well so far.Some times she will miss a pile,but we only just
started this training one week ago.Neechee is a very smart dog and she
loves to please me.Has any one else tried this? Just curious.  Mardi and
Shaman and Neechee.
