Emma does that toy identification thing too. I too, told her what each toy was called, and she'll go and get things depending on what I tell her to pick up! It's great!

Emma has been doing tricks since about 12 weeks. She had everything nailed by the time they taught it in puppy classes-everyone thought she was SO obediant. Truth is, I think she's just smart and likes to please...and then there's that whole treat thing

She can:
Sit
Shake (both paws)
Wave
Lie down
Stand (from lie down or sit)
Roll Over
Bang (play dead)
Come
Walk on her hind legs
Jump vertically
Stay

My husband is working on "hide" with her, where he's trying to get her to cover her eyes with her paws. Don't know how successful that one it yet, but it would be cute!

She also likes the "hide and seek" game, where for example I say, "Go find Daddy!" and she WILL! Once, I said, "Emma, go find Daddy and tell him it's time for dinner!" She ran off, found him, and barked at him twice, then came running back to me as if to say, "I told him, Mommy!" It was the cutest...Don't know if I'll ever be able to get her to do that again!
