Tricks I tried to teach toby how to play dead by saying "Bang" and he ran for the hills with his tail down into his crate and hid :( How did any of you teach your yorkie this trick??? :confused: |
I know it's not funny but that is the same reaction I got from Sebastian but when he got in his crate he did his little head twist and it was cute. I also would like to know how they teach them. I also tried teaching him to roll over and I don't think he understands me. |
lol......well at least i know that if there is ever a drive by shooting i can trust him to get otu of harms way :rolleyes: |
LOL orinskye. I'm trying to teach Gus to roll over. He gives me the "just give me the treat already" look. |
We would roll Chachi over into the dead position first saying dead and using the hand signal. It took about four days of doing this before he would roll on his back on his own. Maybe just say dead using the hand signal. Then later on you could say bang or whatever you wanna say later. We use treats also. Toby really sounds like a cutie. |
Same here I did like Chachi did, rolled him over and over and over again, saying roll over each time and giving a treat. With playing dead, he had already learned to lay down on command so dead was easy. |
I started teaching Esme 'dead dog' yesterday. I was so inspired by Sully! ;) Anyhow, Esme already knows sit, and down. So, I take her from the sit position, to down and then hold a treat in front of her nose and kind of turn it so she rolls on her back to get it... I am hoping you can picture this... And as I am doing it I say 'Dead dog.' I am hoping to add the BANG later, once she has it down. So far, it's pretty good... I tried saying BANG yesterday, and she ran out of the kitchen (where we were practicing) and into the living room. After a moment she came back and looked at me like "Why in the world did you do that???" Mari |

I know "that" look...and I'm bad at resisting it...guess I will forever have a trick-ignorant doggy...what a bad mother I am!! :eek: |
You and me both, YappyScrappy. They are just too cute. If I'm not careful I'm going to have a little yorkie who will be too fat to do anything but roll. |

THATS WHAT TOBY DID!!!! except he didnt come back, the way he acted you would have thought i really shot him...... maybe hes just a really good actor and not a scaredy cat |
