| Me training Fido in obedience :) I finally got my dad to take a short video of me training Fido in obedience I've already tought him to heel (on leash and off leash), sit at heel, lay down at heel (its still in progress though, he doesn't want to lay down while I walk away), sit and stay, come and sit at heel We have only taken 4 obedience lessons :P Here is the video: And for fun, here is one video of him catching him ball and not wanting to bring it back to me haha

| Aw, thanks ! This his really hard work, since he's a real terrier, stubborn and naughty haha I'll post another video when we are doing better, I both have to train myself better in obedience and Fido also, I sometimes confuse him too much, I have to fix that :P I've also just tought him to crawl, and back up, and go in a half circle and back up between my legs. Now I'm teaching him to jump over a stick that I hold, and to wave between my legs as I walk, I'm also working on teaching him to walk with his front feet on my feet as I slowly walk, he stands between my legs then and ''walks with me'' , lol That trick is just so cute , I have to teach him that ! He knows already how to wave when I say ''Bye bye'', play dead, sit (by command and hand signal also), lay down (by command and signal), roll over, close the door (but still in progress), beg (sit pretty),and also if I say ''right'' he puts his right hand on my hand, if I say ''left'' he puts his left hand on my hand, he also knows lots of other tricks, it's so much fun to teach a dog tricks, especially if the dog does everything for one peace of dog food

| One thing I did to help with the stay - When I want mine to come with me I always lead with my left foot. If I want them to stay when I walk away, I lead with my right foot. They are masters at reading body language. You are doing a fabulous job!!!!

| Aw thanks everyone ^^, ! I will post another video probably soon ! As soon as I get someone to take a video of us I'm teaching him now to lay down and stay (he hates it when he's supposed to lay down, he doesn't like laying on grass :P ).
