Mary Peters of Seattle, Washington, has been practicing with her Australian shepherd named Secret since 2014. Mary was just 16 when they started out, and her reward and clicker(响板) training has worked like a charm on this very smart, sporty animal.
In 2016, Mary took Secret to visit her grandparents in Sioux City, Iowa, for Christmas. While they were there, they hit the local sledding(雪橇) hill for some wintertime fun. The dog mom thought it might be fun to have Secret try sledding, so she brought the dog along and showed her the ropes. She’d already taught Secret how to skateboard, so she thought the dog could work out how to pull her own sled uphill and slide down on it.
“I usually just break each trick down into simple pieces that Secret can learn one at a time,” Mary said. “For example, with sledding, we first worked on her just hopping on (she would usually just hop right back out), and then I would reward her for staying in the sled longer.” Secret had the time of her life sledding, and Mary said the dog “probably went down this hill 50 times.”
When Mary shared the video on Instagram, it quickly went viral. Thanks to that video and many others, Secret and Mary racked up tons of new followers. Now, they have over 629,000 fans who can’t wait to see what this wonderful dog will conquer next!
