Maxi is doing tricks

Wow, that is very impressive! What a smart little boy he is

[For My Coby]

Using Katie's "play dead" instructions, Coby learned in one evening (Thanks for the tips!!). He's nowhere near as polished as Maxi yet tho!

But I taught this trick less than a week after he learned "shake", so now when we get the treats, his butt hits the floor, his paws start flapping, he lays down, and then lays flat (for dead) ---- all before I can even give a single command. He doesn't know which one I'm gonna want. So instead of waiting for a command ("how inefficient" he says), he just does them all knowing that one of them will be right.

I think we'll work on the "wait til I tell you" command since he hasn't mastered that one yet.

Aw thank you Yeah patience is definitely a key. I figured I would start teaching Maxi myself and was determined that I can do it.

He he thank you he thinks he is a smarty pants
I bought Maxi a laser light thinking he might chase it but no he figured out where the laser is coming from in less then a minute. So instead of chasing laser light he was going after the thing that makes the laser I cant trick him into anything

I am so glad Cody learned the play dead command Yay, go Cody!
Oh my goodness, it is so funny how you described he plays dead! That is so cute!
It is easy to correct them when they do all the tricks in one guessing what you ll ask. Maxi used to do that too. When you say command play dead make sure he does and stays in the position. If Cody starts doing different command say again play dead and if he stays instead of going to a different trick praise him right away. Maxi once in a while tries to do play dead and roll over right away I guess by knowing that roll over comes next. So what I do is telling him another command instead of roll over.
