After about a month of refining her abilities, she finally can pass the test in under 10 sec!

SOOO adorable!!! How did you get your baby to roll over? I've tried with Oliver and he gets freaked!!! I make him lay down and put move the treat in a way that if he followed it he would roll over. I help him sometimes with my hand but he just starts to freak out! That was a really cute video! CongraTS!!!!!

Rollover took me a week and a couple of fights. I make her lie and then bring the treat from her left side of the head towards the back/neck area. She twists her head all the way to the left and then I start circling the neck from left to right hoping that she will completely turn her head. That makes her a bit unstable towards rolling over. At that point i may push her muzzle a bit and she will end up rolling over. If you did not follow, I may try making a vid.

haha!
Dance was to sit the dog in front of you, then you bend over at the waist and put the hand with the treat on knee level. That way she will try to reach it on her hind legs. Just make sure she does not jump, that defies the purpose. If she does jump -- you say "NO", give no treat and repeat until she does.

thanks we are going to start trying today

BTW, I am teaching her 'paw' right now and noticed that she puts her paw up. But more than is that she puts both paws up ("serving") gets up on her hind legs and starts jumping back. This jumping more like dancing, but either will work.

AWWW so cute. She's smart and fast

Oh how cute. . . .and to actually view it is so precious. I bet this is one video that will be repalyed again and again. It is amazing how a simple treat can get you to make them do pretty much anything

, with the right training and communication. My Tiger does the roll-over too and he cracks me up because sometimes he'd do the roll-over (one after the other) even before I can give the command, just coz he thinks he can get a treat faster that way. Of course, I just find it too hilarious so I indulge and do give it to him.

It is funny that sometimes you do not realize how adorable they can be . . . until you show it to someone (or the entire YT)! Thank you for showing it to us . . . now I want to video my Tiger as well and show all my sisters (in the bay area) the tricks he knows . . . . Is the dogshots.com a free site to use?

btw, how old is your dog and did he go to obedience training? Tiger just completed Puppy training with flying colors

and is moving to the intermediate training and I cannot wait as he will learn the commands: HEEL, PARK IT, BANG BANG YOUR DEAD among other things.

Spookie is so cute. I must have watched that video like 20 times. Gives me so much incentive to work with Simba on his tricks more. How old is Spookie?

AngeliFlad · 02-23-2006, 04:10 PM

How did you get her to speak on command? I'd love to teach that to Simba.
