| Luma's 1st Trick! So we have accomplished our first trick...on accident! We have been trying to teach Luma the "sit" command as her first trick, going off of what multiple books say to do: -Hold a treat at end of nose -Move treat over his head -When he sits, click and say "Yes!" -give treat However..Luma is NOT havin' it! She freaks out over treats since we do not give them to her often, maybe she's too young to learn commands yet? She's 15 weeks. But she DOES know one trick.. Since the day I first saw her, when I held her she licked me on the lippies. Now, all I have to say is "kiss" and she'll do it. Before I would make puckering noises and she'd get it, now just the word "kiss" works! That's kinda a trick...right? Any tips on how to make her learn the sit command? And what tricks do y'alls babies know?

| Mine know the "kiss" word too. I think it is a trick! I say go give your daddy kisses!! And they lick him all over! See how smart they are. Sorry mine don't "sit" on command. So no advice there!

| UPDATE!!! Luma did the Sit command many times today!!!! She had just woken up from a nap so she wasn't hyper yet, I used some liver treats and a clicker and she just did it over and over and over! I'm soooo happy lol She sometimes confused sit for "down" and would just go all the way down but that's better than nothing! Now she's too hyper to keep going, but just wanted to share our progress. Gonna try to record a video of it soon.

| I have a small piece of a treat and I will get down to her level and will take the treat to her face and then take my hand and arm in an over motion while saying roll over, it took awhile but she finally got it..Dh is amazed since he sees how hyper she is. Now if it would click with her potty training...

| I've tried the motion, but Luma just moves with it, she won't flip over However, shes also learned to "drop it" if shes eating something bad, or while playing fetch, after bringing it back she will let go so we can play again.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Congratulations on kisses on sit! That's awesome for a 15-week-old! Be sure not to reward her if she gives you a down instead of a sit. Either wait until she pops back up into a sit, or reset with a stand and try again.

| Thank you for the tip, I had been wondering how to get her to understand the difference between the two! I will try that!

Yorkie Yakker | Don't you just love these smart little fur-babies. The first trick Christabel learned was kisses. But I had to change this to sugar. My son goes to the Univ. of Alabama and lives in Tuscaloosa. The first weekend he came to meet Christabel, I was showing him how she knew how to give kisses. Well every time I would say kisses she would look at him (if I was holding her) or go to him. I believe she thinks his name is kisses. She is 6 months old now and when I say kisses to her she'll run to him. I only get kisses from her if I say give me sugar. user19234100_pic114357_1323454899.jpg |
