Spookie's first test - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Thanks guys, again.
Spookie will rollover when I tell her to lie. It is extremely cute, but I will not give her a treat and repeat to lie without rolling over to emphasize following my commands.
That site is free and easy to use. Registration and and upload took me 5 min.
I train her intuitively, making my commands, gestures and placement.
Spookie is 5 months and all of those tricks took me 1 month combined.
Speak was taught by aggravating her with something. Or spend 30 minutes waiting for her to ask for the treat you have in front of her nose. Either works fine.

I was going to teach my dog to "sit" - and got him to do it a couple of times.

But since then - everytime I have a treat in my hand - and call him over - he runs over and sits ... He doesn't even let me tell her to do it anymore. No fun!

I think the video was absolutely wonderful..... don't we all!!!!

Try to make him speak. It is very easy. Now that he will know 2 tricks you will have more control over what he does. And no automatic treats!

This may sound silly but how did you aggravate her to speak? I think I would have to stand with the treat in my hand for a very, very long time before Simba would bark.
