I loved the video!!!! So jealous! Here I thought my 4 month old Zoë was all tricked out (sit, down, paw, and high five) I was sooooooo wrong!

I'm still a bit afraid to do the Bang Bang trick, I grew up with guns being bad. We'll see.... My issues is Zoë doesn't seem to be able to do roll over on command. She rolls over all the time all on her own of her own free will while playing but the second I involved treats and try to encourage it she suddenly doesn't know what it is and won't even let me forcefully roll her over! She'll just put her weight down and won't let me turn her either way. Gah....
