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.  |
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.
