Puppy Charlie catching treats
You take a small treat in hand and, holding it shoulder-high so Charlie can see it, swing back once... twice... On the count of two, point it towards his face and let go. Occasionally it may bounce off a tooth, but more often than not, the treat will disappear into Charlie's gaping mouth, almost like it was sucked in by a gravitational force.
Adult Charlie catching treats.
The mailman also plays Treat Catch with Charlie almost every day. Since the game ends when he misses, Charlie is very very focused. He's up to 12 consecutive catches and it's only a matter of time until he hits 13.

That is so impressive! And you got three treats in a row!
Charlie that's some really great eye-mouth coordination there and you could even give lessons--Maybe to our Scottie who has no idea why we're tossing a treat at him....
Great job, Charlie! Trixie is pretty good at it too!
What a star!!! Keep up the great work, Charlie :-)

I challenge Charlie to a treating khatching duel (in Indiana?)!
Seriously, that has to be the only thing my other people did fur me - I'm a NATURAL - Mom didn't teach me and I just KNOW how to snag 'em!
I think woo've helped me khome up with a special way to celebrate a milestone on the way!
Might be time to dust off another blog!
GReat Job Charlie!

Monty isn't too fond of treats being thrown at him at close range, but is pretty skilled if we manage to toss one to him across the room!
Cute Video!

You're awesome, Charlie! My old Lab was a natural at catching anything food-based so I didn't even know you had to teach some dogs how to do it until we got Bella. She's not very good at it. I think I'll show her your video so she can learn. ;)
I love that game too... but mine ends when my M thiks I've had enough so I've never tried breaking any records.
Nicely done buddy! I wish I had your mailman!
