I tried, but it didn't work. The boys thought the sound was interesting at first, but ignored after a few clicks.

Now she is doing it with just saying hand, and showing her kibble! Yay!!!! It took 2 sessions, now she's got it down pat.  |
Way to go Katie and Bf!
I'm having trouble with Teddy on this one. He works very well with his paws, front and back, and he allows me to pick up each paw for grooming. However, he pulls away whenever I try "shake." I thought he would follow Maxman's lead, but no luck.
The boys have learned to sit and stay, side by side, in unison. It is so funny to watch now that they are so close in size and appearance. I'm hoping to train them as well as the Yorkie duo in NYC, the ones with all of the cute videos. I can dream, can't I?
One more that was discussed recently in this thread: I think I'm going to have to rule out "sit pretty" and similar tricks. Max was trying to sit pretty and fell flat on his back. It spooked him and he doesn't like trying anymore. I'm surprised because he has powerful back legs; he can walk on his hind legs for a good distance and twirl, and he can jump high from a seated position.
