Dog hadoken! Jess Bell 2016-09-13 | In celebration of #NationalVideoGamesDay, I taught my dog to do a hadoken. You're welcome.(Yes, that's an actual hadoken...)For those calling this fake, I'm a dog trainer, not, well, anyone who cares to throw up fake videos. The thing in my hand is called a clicker, and we use it to mark behaviours when training dogs (especially complex behaviours like this one). The only controller connected to the system is the arcade stick!Could my dog do it again? Maybe! Mild language warning - s-bomb - we were really excited. Sorry! Feel free to share!

Behind the scenes - disc dog photo session with Jess Bell & Claudio Piccoli Jess Bell 2019-09-17 | This behind the scenes video is of an artistic collaboration between Jess Bell Photography and Claudio Piccoli Photographer, featuring the amazing disc talents of Sara Brueske & Bazinga.The two of us planned out this special sunrise photo shoot when Claudio visited me in Toronto earlier in September. We wanted to try to commemorate the project by creating something special of the process. We decided to put together this behind-the-scenes video to offer some insight into this fabulous day (and include some of the fabulous images we captured too).Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who got up way before dawn to participate. It was great fun, and enormously artistically edifying for us.As you can see, this was truly a family affair. I had my 2 year old daughter in tow, and Sabrina & Camilla came with Claudio to offer support and say hi.I feel so fortunate to know such talented people - photographers, dog handlers, and more.

Cohen - hand rebounds Jess Bell 2015-10-29 | New trick in progress - hand rebounds! This is our first session. I was curious whether we'd even be able to do it, but so far so good. It's not powerful, but that may be a blessing in disguise.
How to teach your dog to hug Jess Bell 2015-02-19 | How to teach your dog to hug, with Cohen the Australian Shepherd. A video!This is the way I taught Cohen to hug her toys (and catch them with her paws). I wasn't aware of any videos breaking down the steps online so I decided to make my own. Have photos of your dogs hugging? Please share in the comments below.I'm sure there are many other methods for teaching this trick. If you trained it some other way, I'd be curious to know what you did. Share them below too!Happy clicking everyone!I absolutely encourage sharing.

Cohen - walking handstand training Jess Bell 2014-02-12 | Recorded February 12, 2014. I'm fading the lure and offering a bit of support to her rear to get her past the first 3-4 steps.
Bow from down Jess Bell 2013-11-20 | New trick, popping into a bow from a down. With a blooper or two.
Foot rebound and foot stall training Jess Bell 2013-11-13 | Quick video of our first session with a prop to help with foot stall & foot rebound training. I'd found that Cohen wasn't hitting solidly with her back feet on rebounds so I opted to give this prop a try. She was also not confident in her ability to sit/stand on my feet during a stall and normally opted to lay down and sprawl. Our first session with the prop has yielded some promising results.
