Most tricks, I try to keep my hands off him because they resist doing it if they think they're being forced, but that one I cheated a little bit.

I taught roll over by having him go into a down and then following a treat to the side. Once he had that down, I said 'bang,' gave him the roll over hand signal, then stopped him when he was on his back just for a second.

I'm not sure that's the best way, but he picked it up pretty fast.

We learned most of our tricks from Teach your dog tricks!.

There is a good book called 101 dog tricks...or something like that.

Doodlebug is 13 weeks and can do sit, shake left and right, high five, down, come and rollover. He's my little genius. He catches on much quicker than Pebbles does.

Pebbles can do sit, shake left and right, high five, down, rollover, speak, crazy (on her back wiggling) and get in your house and she will run down the hall and jump into her crate. She will also get her toy when I tell her~not sure if that's a trick or not.

I've been working on bang bang and dance but they have been looking at me like I've lost my mind!

I bought a book on tricks and it really helped. They LOVE Cheerios!

I think the best thing I taught Winston is "stay" and "leave it". Both of these commands may save his life if needed. He will stay until I tell him okay, which would come in handy if he ever got loose or I needed him to stop for any reason. If I tell him to leave it...he will walk away from whatever has his attention.
Of course he also knows many words...it amazes me how very much he understands. My husband and I find ourselves spelling words like walk, new ball, or treat...hope he never learns how to spell too, but I bet he'll catch on to that as well!!!
