Well my Tiki mostly does amazing tricks.
She dances, she will roll over each direction - depending on which direction I tell her, she sits up so pretty and stays there. If I don't get her her treat soon enough she will reach out her precious little paw and rest it on my fingers as I give her the treat. She shakes hands, both paws. She gives kisses on command. she runs to find her daddy and give him a kiss, then runs back for her treat, Her last little trick sometimes frightens me - she does it so well. I point my finger at her and say "Bang". She crumples to the floor and ends up totally still on her side. Once in a while she whimpers while she is falling. Advancing the trick,, I reach out and rub her little body and say, "poor little Tiki, she;s asll dead, then move my hand. she stays perfectly still - until I say "good girl" and she flips up and sits so nicely to get her treat.
My girlfriend has her brother and we have taught him the same tricks. It is wquite funny to have them do them at the same time. Tiki dances clockwise and Buddy dances counter clockwise. When they finish the "dead" action, they both get up exactly the same way. It is too funny. We laugh at them a lot and often say" I wonder if we are nuts because we loe these dogs so much, maybe too much".. I was so happy to tell her that ALL Yorkie owners are the same way!!! This brother and sister are just like kid brothers sand sisters. They both want the same toy at the same time. They will chase each other to try and get the toy until they both have one end of it and then they play tug of war.
In the summer she brings Buddy to my place as we have a huge totally fenced and safe back yard. We sit under the canopy while the dogs play. buddy loves to run so he runs around and around. We have a shed in the back yard and he tears around it. When he first started doing it, tiki would follow him, but he is much faster than she is (He has $4,000.00 bionic rear legs). She got wise and once he started running around, she would just lay down in the shade and wait for him to come around, then she would jump on him. More laughs here. I always tell her, Tiki is a girl. They are the smart ones! Oh how I love these two pups.
