Zoe is 4.5 months and I've had her for about a week now. I taught her to sit on the first day and "go in your bag" (carrier bag) the 2nd day. She's just learning to lie down but will only do it for a treat, not on the verbal command yet, and she is just starting to learn dance. Next, I want to teach her stay and be quiet lol.

can you tell me how you tought play dead and dance ? pleaseee ?

[kalina82]

a couple people are asking how these tricks were trained. Here's how i did it.

roll over - start in the down position. using a treat in front of their face try to lure them over onto their side and then all the way over. If they do not follow with just the treat you can use your other hand to help roll them over. i did this a few times, then used just two finger to roll her over with a gentler touch, and then when she was getting it more, i switched to just one finger and a tap in the right direction, until i didn't need to touch her at all. She would just respond to 'roll over' and the finger twirl in a circle.

play dead - again start in the down position. you can either use "bang" or "play dead" or whatever you wish as the command name. I use both as well as a gun finger hand signal. to teach the command i had to put her on her side or back and tell her to stay, after i said bang. so its bang, place on side, make them stay, then give treat.

high five - have treat in hand between fingers. your hand is in the high five position about a foot above their head so they have to stand on their back feet to touch your hand. say 'high five' - They will usually run up to your hand and hit it with their nose or feet or both to get the treat.

no bark - morgan came pretrained for this one thank god. when she was at the breeders and all the dogs started up the breeder would say 'thank you, that's enough' and a few seconds later they would all be quiet. I used to say 'that's enough' when morgan was a puppy every single time she barked to let her know it was not necessary to bark to get what she wanted. Now she NEVER and i mean NEVER barks unless we are playing. I now use the 'shht' sound of caesar milan to tell her to stop whatever behavior she is doing that i don't like. works like a charm.

dance - this one is easy. hold a treat above their head to get them to stand on their hind legs. then move around alittle in their vicinity. it makes them dance around on their high legs. You can also add a twirl in there by moving the treat in a circle above their head. Morgan twirls now while on all four feet because i don't like her dancing on her hind legs because of her knees.

We are having down difficulties, too!

[MIZBROWN]

Wow... Everyone is doing great with their pups... Very surprised to see the long list of commands for these dogs... I've definately got more work to do

At 10 mo's Meka can:
Fetch
Sit
Come
Down
Stay
Up
Where's the Belly (she'll roll over on her back to get a belly rub)
Get mommy (DH will tell her to get me & she'll search hi/low till she does)
Go to bed
Go potty on Pad (she'll go to her pad to use it)

so....... yeah.... we still have a ways to go

[Bizzymammabee]

Oh jesus I am so behind. I just started the sit with her. I want to teach her all sorts of trick...any tips.

[Lou]

I am waaaaay too lazy.
I'm ashamed of myself. Adie knows sit and down but won't do either without seeing a treat in my hand! She plays fetch (which she taught herself) and she is starting to throw the ball back to us as she is returning it. (Also on her own.) She knows and obeys "quiet". That is about it. I better get busy and catch up with you guys. I know she is easy to train.

[LillieDoodle]

Lillie does:

Bang Play Dead
Roll Over
Lay Down
Dance like a Ballerina
Walk the red carpet - I have a long red carpet in the foyer and she will walk the entire thing without going down.
Give Paw
Sit
Speak
Give mommy a High Five -with one paw
Fetch
Knows the name of her toys and will pick it out if you tell her what to get

Gracie, she is only 6 months so we are at:
Sit
Lay
Roll Over
Fetch

We try to teach a new trick about once a month.

Yorkies are very smart dogs and can learn just about anything if you presist. My Bell knows: sit, down, stay, come, put them up, and she hides very well when it is time to go to bed.

Lilly know sit, down, play dead and bed time(she goes into her crate)

Petey doesn't know many tricks, but he does sit and smile on command.

[PrincessPoo612]

Okay, looking at all these tricks I am jealous What do you think the #1 key is to teaching some basic tricks? I can say Yumi learned sit really quick...like a few minutes, and she now knows stay and come. But for other things I need to know how to isolate the lesson, considering her attention span
