| Lu so far can sit, twirl, give the paw, high five and when I say 'foot' she puts her front paws on the foot I hold out. She also stands on her back legs when I say 'up-up' but I might need to change that command since it's the same we use when telling her she can go up on the couch. She very excitable when her favourite treats are out so her sit doesn't last too long Working on it! I would love to get roll over sometime, need to get her to lie down first. |

| We've mastered sit, down, stay, come, spin, and are starting to ring a bell on command at 19 weeks. New to Yorkies and they are a smart little breed. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I'm totally amazed at all the commands your babies can do, wow! Wylie does a trick we call "touchdown!" -- where he goes up on his hind legs and puts both front arms up in the air, like a field goal sign. It's too cute.

| We rescued Toto two years ago at 8 years old and am surprised at how much an "old" dog can learn. He didn't seem to know any commands in English when I first started fostering him. He now knows sit, beg (he's a pro at this), left/right handshake, high five, lay down, roll over, play dead, chase tail/spin, leave it (so surprised he even listens to this). Still can't get him to bark on command or stop barking once he gets started though.

| Monty is just over a year old. He really enjoys doing tricks with me each night. He's learned quite a bit. Most recently he's learned to jump skipping rope with me and say his prayers on the footstool. He also will throw a toy if I point at it, roll over both directions, run around me jumping through hoops, do high-fives, wave bye-bye, sit up and beg, weave through my legs as I walk, jump through my arms, play dead, roll around a basketball with his front paws and take a bow. There are a few others as well. I'm starting to look for what to teach next, since he really enjoys the sessions. If I could find a toy piano, I'd love to teach him to hit the keys. Linda |

| That's impressive! Have you tried to get him to actually dunk a basket? Uni can "slam dunk". We got her a toy basketball hoop from Target. Should be a natural next step for him if he's already comfortable with a basketball.

One thing I've found difficult to train has been "hold" or "fetch" by the way -- Monty is so focussed on the treat that he just will not hold a toy in his mouth. Hence the ease of teaching him to throw a toy -- it now goes arcing across the room. I haven't managed to get him to use any direction to his toss, but at times it seems as if we're almost pkaying catch. Linda | |

| I have been searching for a small basketball and goal for Barney. I want him to learn to do this so bad. He loves learning new tricks.

| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YFKjtKFihU Here is Uni playing basketball. I haven't watched this in years! Her ear hair is so short. Anyway, I'm almost positive we got the hoop at Target. It came with a plastic ball but we threw that away and she used her favorite ball. We hooked it on the back of a carry on size rolling luggage. It was the perfect height. So ideally you would want to teach drop it before attempting the slam dunk. https://www.google.com/search?q=huffy+junior+basketball+hoop&client=firef ox-a&hs=S1T&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&channel=sb&biw=1173&bih=611&tbm=isch&i mgil=lsWUP_dAfgiKsM%253A%253Bxe8JrOzXnpe_AM%253Bht tps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.woot.com%25252Foffers% 25252Fnba-mini-jammer-youth-basketball-hoop-14&source=iu&pf=m&fir=lsWUP_dAfgiKsM%253A%252Cxe8J rOzXnpe_AM%252C_&usg=__1fWbwTPVOgebwqSkLkkBcZqnbxI %3D&ved=0CF4QyjdqFQoTCIf_s6j4mccCFQ86iAodBosIlw&ei =0zLGVcfJI4_0oASGlqK4CQ#imgrc=cdo75IR5t3d4MM%3A&us g=__1fWbwTPVOgebwqSkLkkBcZqnbxI%3D The hoop is by Huffy but after a quick search seems like it is now discontinued. I'm sure another company makes it. It is the kind that young kids put on the back of their bedroom door.

| That video is adorable. Barney could be Uni's twin brother. He is built exactly the same. I found some over the door goals on Amazon just now. Thanks for the idea. Sadly, I bet my youngest son went through at least a dozen of those but they have all been lost/thrown away over the years.

| We did find one flaw in the hoop. If too much weight or pressure is put on the out edge of the rim, it will pop out of the slot and fall down. This scared Uni when we first started training and then she didn't want to touch the rim. Eventually she got used to it but you'll notice she doesn't really touch the hoop/rim but more drops the ball in.
