What commands/tricks can your yorkie do?!

[TraciG]

Brits' Jackson is just amazing. So far at 7 months we got down the follwing down very good: sit, down, walking on a leash and leave it. The following are at 70%: shake, high five and boxing(dh). What we need to work on terribly is: COME - ugh! But overall potty training was completed months ago with no accidents, so overall I am happy.

I am a really bad trick teacher, and my boys are in love with "sit" because it gets them everything they want. How can you say no when your pup performs a nice sit?

We did manage:
gimme a kiss
touch nose (nose to my finger)
shake hands (Max does the daintiest handshake ever)
down
up
come (the command words "cheese" or "chicken" work best for this )
stay

We have been working on spin for over a year and they both spin on their rear ends in the sit position, lol.

Oh that's adorable! How did you teach that?

I missed this thread before, so I'll to it now. Jack knows:

-sit
-stay
-wait
-down
-come
-bring it
-drop it
-circles
-left paw (shake)
-right paw (shake)
-shake it off - after his bath I tell him to shake it off and he shakes - water flies everywhere lol
-roll over
-play dead
-sit pretty
-walk on two legs - still working on this - he more or less hops
-gimme kiss - too funny he will touch my cheek really quick (reminds me of the lab rats that touch the button for food) so I have to tell him "gimme a good kiss" then I get a real kiss
- crawl - hubby is just now teaching him this - he cracks me up because he "crawls" but sticks his little butt in the air. I should try to get a video of it.

All of my babies can do some tricks but Scooter does the most because he was little when I got him so he was easier to train and he is just so smart.
Scooter--Sit., Lay down , leave it, crawl, roll over and back over, dance, jump, give paw, sit pretty.

Sadie---Sit, down, leave it , give paw and sit pretty.

Little Bit---Sit, give paw, sit pretty and if you say bang to him he lays down like he is dead.

Thor---Sit, sit pretty, give paw and dance.

It is hard trying to teach new tricks with so many of them.

when i go to give him a treat i started off saying sneeze and I would act like im sneezing to show him lol then he would sneeze now i say bless you, and he sneezes lol.. Oh and im trying to get him to stick out his tonque ill say show me your tongue at times he would barely stick it out just far enough so i can see it,and he does it so fast, it's funny he is still working on that.. Oh when he plays dead, he lays on his back and wiggle im like sonic dead dogs don't wiggle! lol

I bet that is cute crawling with his butt in the air lol.
sonic is getting to where he stands on his back legs but not for very long.

He already knew "kiss"! This site has lots of the same tricks and teaches you basically the same way. Dog Tricks! Shake, Crawl, Beg, Wave, Kiss, Roll Over, Take a Bow, and more!

Wow, Charlie only knows sit. I've had him since December. Working on lay down, but he isn't understanding it.

Did you all teach these on your own or go to training classes? I have endless amounts of time to train, but we are struggling!

When I first started teaching Scooter it was just him and Sadie and he was very easy to train with treats, now that the rest of them are here it is more difficult. I did forgrt to mention that Little Bit also plays fetch and Scooter plays soccer : )

I taught Jackson on my own - I, too, had lots of time when I first got him as I was on winter break from college.

Honestly, I kind of just winged it. I did not know what I was doing at first. But then I discovered YouTube! I really like the following channels - kikopup, zakgeorge21, tab289, pamelamarxsen and a few others. They have wonderful tutorials.

I taught sonic, im going to have to check out those channels on you tube
