I trained Clyde to find the curb cuts now that I am in a power chair when we go
out. he will slow down almost to a stop when we have something like the train
tracks to go over. I know that paws up on a curb probably works better but I
don't like the being out in traffic very much. Wyatt and Buckley would hurry
across the street then slow when we got to the curb I would have to find it
with my foot. Clyde doesn't even know to stop or slow at curbs he (if I'm
walking or in the chair) just goes for the curb cut which is easier either way
for me.
Ridge and Clyde

Subject: (VICT) Up-curbs
When I trained Alex we did upcurbs as a bit of a pause and then go. I am
thinking about teaching it this time with a paws on the curb and stop
indicate..any opinions one over the other? I feel a little less safe with
the paws on
the upcurb as far as traffic and clearing the street but the indication is a
lot more solid and readable leaving me fewer curb scrambles if I get
distracted.. What do you think?
