My Mood:
I play with my Doodles every day while I'm gardening. Inbetween picking, planting and watering it can get quite boring so doodle train while you do it - those good at multi-tasking won't have a problem with this!

Few tips:

Set your view to long distance - it helps you see whether and which of your doodles are responding to your instructions and helps you to decide whether to say 'Good Girl' or 'Good Boy' (lol)

Personally, I start off with 'Jump' (at the top of list) and continue to say it until one of them responds, then say 'Good Girl' and move onto 'Rollover' and so on until I get to the bottom of the list, then start over again.
If they lose interest (for instance while you are planting) then take the time to whistle them back.

When you've finished your gardening, don't forget to feed or scratch each one (cos you don't have time for this while you are gardening!)

After a while, you will realise that each Doodle has its favourite 'trick' - this helps when you call him/her in battle - the odds on him/her performing for you are greatly improved if you choose his/her favourite 'trick'.

All 4 Doodles on my estate are coming on really nicely now.
