We took a break from individaual attention and did some "mat" and hurdles. I had my pet sitter try this while we were away, and while she could get them to go to their mats, she couldn't get them over the hurdles.

They actually "performed" beautifully for me, especially Simba. Simba usually doesn't like the hurdle as much as Gizmo does, but they seem to be having a bit of role reversal. Gizmo is still jumping the hurdle, but he just barely does it. Simba, true to his lion-like nature, soars over it (when he does it).

I got them both going over it in different directions once, which was very cute. If only I can really get them to get "stay", I could probably train them to do this.

I was able to raise the bar to the next level on the hurdle, and they both continued to jump over it.
