| Playing dead and roll over are two good ones. It shouldnt be that difficult since you already have him laying down.

| If you haven't already, I'd do obedience commands: sit down stay come drop it leave it These are so important in every day life!!! |

| I agree with First Yorkie....Start with the basics of any obedience class regarding commands that maybe needed in a everyday life situation and then go from there. I for instance would much rather have a furkid that comes when called versus one that can roll over. As your little one grows you will appreciate the benefit of a well mannered pal each and every day. Teddy does tricks too so don't get me wrong. We love to have fun but he had to learn how to add before we went on to multiplication so to speak. Once he figures out how to please you the possibilities of what you can teach him are virtually endless. Good Luck and Have Fun!

| i agree that basic obedience commands are very important and it's best to start with those. teaching him to walk on a leash is also another must. another thing i would suggest is to go some place where there's more distractions, someplace different from the area where you normally do your training and see if he would respond to you as readily. so far my bunjee responds to me readily when we're in the confines of his kitchen area. (like watch me, come, sit, wait, down, go potty, go crate, no whining) but once we're outside or at obedience class where there's more distractions, he's more curious and wanting to explore than he is ready to listen and respond to my commands. same when we're someplace familiar, walking on a leash is a cinch. someplace different, and he'll start to pull and tug. |
