Lizard Trick of the Day

Hello, my friends, this is Allison! Today, we will be doing a fun lizard trick. Remember, when you are training, do it in five minute sessions, approximately three times a day. Now, we are going to train our favorite lizards now, right? Now to reveal what we will be learning... how to teach your lizard how to scramble over obstacles! 

Supplies
A lizard that knows how to follow your hand without treats.
You, the trainer.
Yummy, lizard treats.
An obstacle that a lizard can scramble over.

1.First, you want to make sure the obstacle is safe and sturdy.

2. Now, you want to get the lizard to follow your hand. Have it follow your hand over the obstacle, and say scramble at the same time. If if your lizard goes around, put a treat on top of the obstacle, then try.

3. Keep moving your hand higher and higher up, and keep trying to make your actions get smaller and smaller. Keep repeating scramble as you do so.

4. Keep repeating step two and three until you are saying scramble and doing a small finger movement in the air, and your lizard is scrambling over the obstacle on command sharply.

5. Congratulations! Your lizard has learned how to scramble over obstacles on command! What a smart lizard!

Remember, if you are getting frustrated, your lizard probably is too. Now, time for announcements.   
Do you have a lizard that looks awesome in photos, and seems like it could be a star? Send Mydivapets some photos. You never know, your lizard could be the star lizard of Mydivapets! Enter in the contest now! If your pet doesn't get a trick of the day, comment down below! Me and Katie would try to post something as soon as possible. Make sure to include what animal it is, of course! Well that is all I have!
