Yeah, I can manage a load alone now if I really have to, but when I first trained Molly trying to empty the washer would leave me in tears and sometimes on the floor as I fell more easily then. Luckily my hip is some improved now, but this lets me cope a lot better. They'll also take laundry out of basket and hand it to me as I hang it up if needed and pick up any clothespins or objects I drop.
Well you are clearly an excellent trainer! And they are beautiful. They seem so eager, and so pleased to help! I’m sure it’s only partly about the treats. 😁
I only use that much treats because it's new behavior for Skye. The others will empty the entire machine for one. Shawnee you have to monitor while filling the machine, because she will try to sneak in and pull out the dirty laundry to "help." Sometimes I've started loading it, realized it wouldn't be full and gone to recheck hampers, etc., for more to throw in and come back to a neat pile of laundry on the floor and Shawnee handing it to me.
