That is the latest command I’ve been teaching Amigo. He is very good with both front feet and his rear right foot. But the rear left leg has been injured sometime in the past, and it is taking a good deal of patience and persistence to get him to hold it still long enough to work on his hoof.

As far as the training goes, he is an excellent learner. I have been rubbing a leg, then saying “hoof” and he is beginning to pick it up with little or no effort from me.  He even picks up the “bad” foot initially, but soon pulls away as I work on it.  We’ll keep on plugging away. He is improving.
