i taught Abbi to sit ,lay down and roll over. I did this with verbal commands and signs. she is really smart. have been working with her on bang your dead , pointing hand at her like a gun and she will lie down but wont close her eyes. i can tell she doesn't like it. bought a hula hoop and want to teach her to jump threw hoop. that will be next trick. I want to take her to the nursing home so the residents can enjoy her too!
