My one that refuses to do tricks is actually the faster learner with everything else (the meaning of do you want to go out (for a walk)?, etc., using the pee pads, schedules/routines (he knows when someone comes home from work and waits behind the door). He understands what everything means. I think he even understands the trick commands but just doesn't like to do them. Even when he does sit he pops back up right away.
My one who does tricks is slower to learn everything else and kind of follows the other one. I think the fast pace in which he learns his tricks is actually due to the fact that he wants the treat so bad coupled with the fact that he is inherently submissive so he doesn't fight it. |
