Henry on the sideboard

Just got in and was playing with Henry and thought I'll film him doing what Henry is very good at, jumping up anywhere you tell him to. 
​When you see him being asked to jump up on the sideboard, please don't think naughty dog, because that would be you thinking that Henry thinks that what he is jumping up on to is a sideboard. For him, it is just somewhere I have given him the command to jump up on to. He never goes up on the sideboard without being commanded to.

I did learn one lesson whilst trying to film this. That it is confusing for the dog to be trying to film and give them commands at the same time, because you are trying to film, your body language is not so clear and Henry I know takes most of his cues from me from my eye contact and body movement. Yep, I said eye contact. Yes, I find that you can actually look your dog in the eyes without him/her thinking you are being aggressive or vice versa. There are lots of different types of eye contact and eye contact has a lot to do with what the rest of your body is saying and in what context the eye contact is in and that is the same for the dog.
​The second jump you will notice I removed the vase off the sideboard and I got a couple treats, and Henry then shows us how good he is at catching as well.
