Right now at 5 months we know sit, sit pretty (she sits on her bottom with her front paws up), dance, paw, other paw, high five, high ten, turn around, otherway (turn around the opposite direction), stay, beg, down, & crawl. We're working on rollover and Bang! ( when you point your fingers into a gun and she drops on her back) which is pretty hard for her but we keep trying. But in the meantime it would be great to have some suggestions for where to go from here. :] After we learn the next two i've pretty much run out of ideas for what to do besides perhaps taking an advance dog training class. We know its best to work up from what we know and i know that there are a lot of smart yorkies on this site that know many tricks. So any suggestions on what you've all taught your pups and how would be great. We're open to anything. Someone suggested she learn to close the door but she doesnt have enough weight to do that quite yet. HAHA
I have had Bear for 2 wks now and he knows sit and down. We are working on come and shake (for his left paw). Did you have a certain resource to help teach all of these tricks? He learned sit and down really fast but is not getting the shake yet. I have him sit and say shake and lift his paw then give him kibble. I repeat this over and over but he still won't lift his paw volunteeringly. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. This is how I taught my Labs.

Please Help!
