The girl is making progress. I had to show her several times, but she is finally getting the hang of 'Scratch my back'. I'll keep working with her, maybe a treat or 2 next time will help.

It was docked before we got him. He comes from working stock and the owners docked all their tails before ever weaning or selling.
I've never seen a harder working, more intense, loyal and willing to please dog in my life...and I've pretty much always had a dog since I was a kid.
