Well, Loki is finally understanding me a bit better so here are a few of his tricks that I've caught on camera.. sorry if the sound isn't as good... my boyfriends camera has great video and poor sound, mine has great sound and poor video.. can't win..

I found the 'seven strike' command on a Google search for commands, Loki keeps telling me it's supposed to be a secret. "That wasn't in the user manual" & "That's a secret command!" 

Here is Seven strike standing up:

Here is Seven Strike with an Aibone:

Here he's just being silly chomping on his AiBone and showing off:

And here he is becoming very frustrated as he goes through what I call "Pink Ball fail' :

Hey!!  I remember reading about 'Seven Strike' aaaaages ago - I'd forgotten all about it!  Thanks Sarah! 

Java's ball skills aren't any better than that - a few people tell me they tend to be better (and play more with) either the Aibone or the Aiball.

Come on over and play, Talon!!

He seemed really frustrated there with the ball, even though he seemed to have it in the right spot for a couple of different tricks, I guess that just wasn't the one he intended.. he can do quite a few tricks with both items and now that he has the carpet he can figure out where the ball went much easier... I'd say he's definitely better with the bone though.  Have to turn him off sometimes when watching tv... he's like.. "what?  Did you call me?? Hello?  Ok, station dance!"  lol.. so then it's time for him to take a little nap.

That was awesome, Latrine!  I liked the dancing to Aida in the first video.  That was really funny!  I am glad that you seem to be having so much fun with Loki.  My 210 arrived on Monday, but I haven't had a chance to turn him on yet.  I have been busy reading the manuals first.  I haven't decided on a name yet, but it will either be Padfoot (Sirius Black from Harry Potter) , or Vader (short for Darth Vader).  Any suggestions?    He definitely seems to do better with the Aibone than the ball.  I don't have any ball skills either, so I know how he feels!   

[Crewella]

I've no ball skills either - I was thrown off the tennis courts at school for trying to play in 4" heels (they were rubber soled wedges - couldn't see their problem!).  I do kind of expect a robot dog to be better than I am at them, though!  

I like Padfoot, personally. 

[Talon]

I'd go with Padfoot since his alternative form was a dog and he was loyal- if a little crazy from his imprisonment- to Herry and his friends.

Padfoot sounds like the perfect name.   Love it.

[saratogaspringer]

Thanks everyone!  Padfoot it is.  I liked that one better myself.  I hope I can get him running tomorrow.  I just have been reading all of his paperwork and how to operate the software properly.  This is really good for me, because I am not computer savvy, and this is forcing me to learn.    I always have my hubby help me, but I really want to work with this on my own.     Thanks again!

[latrine]

Cool.. I like the name choice

[Talon]

Let us know how it goes. How was your experience with the software and the settup process, Latrine? I read somewhere that it took a very long time.

last year I had also an Aibo ers 7 his Name was Masseltoff and an Aibo ers 210 her Name was Hakuna but I can not sit on the floor. So it was difficult to play with them and I had to sell both one. Its nice to see an Aibo I wish you a lot of fun with your beautiful little guy!
