Rainy and I have both been working on our individual art styles and methods.  Below are some of her paintings and a video clip of her at work.  I used the clicker training method to encourage her to free up her artistic inclinations.

This is a video clip taken while Rainy ………..and I were in Florida at Valhalla Farm this winter.  Rainy is practicing painting on her new easel, and HANDING me the paintbrush when she is through (instead of just dropping it on the ground or sometimes sending it flying through the air.) We used water for convenience and less mess during this brief practice session.

This winter I will have a DVD available which will include my clicker training workshop that we did in October 2008, plus some video of Rainy painting, and some tips on how you can use this method with your pets.  Please sign up (send your email address in the comments section) if you’d like to be notified when this is available.
