Jackson, World's Smartest Yorkie tricks

[smyrfette]

awww sooooo cute! thank you for sharing my little rescue was with me at the laptop...when I looked down she was glued watching him.

I think she's in love

Great video! I especially love the limping. That's too funny.

I've been amazed at how smart Yorkie's really are. I read and read about them before I got Princess but just did not understand such a small dog (prob w/a small brain) could be so smart!
I think the funniest, smartest thing Princess ever did was a couple weeks ago. I took a nap in the afternoon & set the alarm to get up. I woke up before the alarm and went in the bathroom. Princess was in there with me. Well the alarm went off and Princess took off at a full run to my bedroom......and she pushed the snooze button !! I still can't believe it, it has encouraged me to try to teach her as many tricks as possible, I mean, Yorkie's really are the smart breed they are known to be!

That's a great video...thank you!
How old was Jackson when you started training him to do tricks? What did you start with?

[MauiGirl]

Great video! Jackson is so darn cute AND smart. Wish he could come over for a play date with my girls, they'd love him.

OMG that is awesome. I'm working on tricks with Harley maybe once he gets really good I'll have to make a video. Hey, what are all the tricks Jackson knows, any chance you can list them. I'm trying to make a list of all the things I want to teach Harley. He's quite a bit smaller than Jackson, and is a little ADD some times, but eventually I figure I'll be able to keep his attention better.

If that video doesn't put a smile on your face nothing will! Jackson is the coolest pup. Cheers to you Britt an amazing job with Jackson. I just love watching his videos

[YorkieRose]

What a super smart boy!!!!!!

Wonderful video, Brit! Jackson is gorgeous in the yard (your dad's yard?), looks like he was born to be a tv star, and he is great with all of his tricks, of course. I love the way he looks at you so intently. My favorite clips/tricks are walking on your feet, through your legs, and dancing on the porch. Adorable!

Yep I had NO prior experience though... got Jackson as an 18 year old new dog owner and just started having fun with him!

By the way i'm clicker training her. After reading one of your posts a while ago about training Jackson i ran out and got one

Sit Pretty actually took Jackson a little while. He also had terrible balance. I'd say it was like 2 months before he was 'properly' sitting pretty, LOL. He used to have his arms up in the air too.

I'm sooo glad to hear you are doing clicker training with her! It's such a fun thing and it's awesome when you see their heads spinning, trying to figure out what to do next to get that click. Post a video sometime!

It's never too late! I actually didn't use the actual clicker until Jackson was probably a year old. I used to just say the word 'yes' paired with a treat, which is essentially the same thing, but I found the clicker was a more clear 'marker' and he began learning a lot faster. Good luck!! Keep me posted on your progress!

Jackson was probably 12 weeks old. I got him at 9 weeks and he learned the basic sit really fast, so that was where we started. I remember being like "omg! He caught on to that so fast!" and then I was hooked. Then I did down and the other basics. There's some other vids on my youtube channel http://youtube.com/user/brittanyjadexo Here he was at 5 months old... ignore my annoying voice in this one, I keep repeating 'bang bang' because he had JUST learned it, LOL

What a smart guy! I always enjoy watching Jackson in action! You go, Jackson!
A groomer, Tammy Rudd had a beautiful Border Collie name Shebang. They were on David Letterman and Pet Star shows. I always enjoyed reading her tales with Shebang. Sadly, Shebang had pancreatitis and had to put to sleep.
