| What trick next? Bailey is about 4 1/2 months. Since about 12 weeks she has been doing great learning new tricks. Her newest (take a bow) she basically learned in 5 minutes. So far she knows (in order learned): sit, down, give me paw, roll over, take a bow. What should I teach her next? I want her to learn play dead ("bang bang") but I don't want her to confuse roll over since that's pretty new. What's the best thing to try next?

| I have heard teaching them "circles" is pretty easy. Just lead them with a treat in a circle. My friends poodle could "dance" and it was pretty much circles on her hind legs. So cute! Other ones.... Jump (hold a treat way high), kisses (peanut butter or something on your cheek), or crawl

Thor's Human Donating Member | How about Speak / Quiet? You can also teach Roll Over and Bang! together, so your yorkie understands the difference. _____________ BTW, what does Take A Bow look like?

| My 8 yr old and 1 yr old do these tricks: Sit, down, shake, play dead when shot, high five, army crawl, dancing in circles on hind legs, limbo ( hopping on hind legs with front paws in the air) , give kisses, leave it, jump through hoops, sit pretty, pretty "touch" ( sit pretty and lightly touch my hand at the same time) bow, roll over, and my favorite, wave bye-bye. Wave bye bye is so cute, cracks me up every time! To teach wave bye -bye, put your hand out like you want them to shake and say bye bye instead, when they raise the paw to put in your hand, move your hand and wave while saying bye bye. The play dead is super easy if they know roll over, I use a clicker and when they would lay down I would put the treat just above and off to the side so they would have to roll onto thier side to see it, as soon as they are on thier side, CLICK & TREAT. Make sure you use the bang sound and/or hand gesture, so they can make the connection and distinguish it between the roll over. We call this having school, all I have to say is "Is it time for school, or what time is it?" They go ballistic! My new Yorkie, Rita (rehomed to me at 6 yrs old three weeks ago) is observing mostly right now but she is learning to sit, gotta start somewhere. I have pictures of "school" in my album, take a look at how intent they all are watching for my hand signal. Good luck with your trick training, I get a kick out of and the pups love the stimulation to the mind. Plus they love to please!

| We taught Uni the difference between left and right hand. it's super easy and is very impressive. Since she already knows "Paw" all you have to do is have her do "paw" and you come in with the treat on one side only. for example to teach right hand/paw come in towards her with the treat on her right side. Say "right hand" since the treat is closer to her right hand she will naturally use her right hand to get it, instead of the left. Make sure it is HER right and left and not yours. My bf kept confusing himself which was right and left! LOL Do it enough and you can do it later with just the voice command and you won't even need to do the hand signal. Here's a vid of Uni when she was about 4 months.
