June's Challenge - Unroll a Mat/Carpet

For this challenge, you will need something that can be rolled up and unrolled. A yoga mat, a hall runner, a towel (maybe - may be too soft).

Rules:

1. The goal is for your dog to unroll the mat with their nose.

3. Targeting is allowed

4. Creative placement of food is allowed.

5. Shaping is always allowed.

6. Video submission must include some training scenes and the final behavior on cue. Your dog must offer the behavior when cued (verbal and signal cues are allowed). The cue must be under stimulus control - we must see that your dog waits for the cue and does not perform it just on environmental cues.

7. Deadline for video submission is June 20.

8. Leave the link for your video submission in the comments to this post.

9. The winner will receive an On Cue tote bag.

This behavior is a Foundation behavior for Treiball, so you'll be 2 steps ahead if you decide to try that sport!
