Crawl
Sit pretty
Shake (left, right)
High five
High ten
Turn around ( both ways)
Fetch
Close the door
Pray
Bow
Come
Jump in place
To count to five with her paw
Wave
Lie down
Walk loose leash
Hug ( she puts her arms around my neck and puts her head down)

We're working on teaching her to jump rope and walking backwards but it's soo hard. I think these two will take us the longest but working with her is so much fun. yorkies are incredibly smart especially when food motivated.

For shake w/ left and right do you use your same hand for both or switch your hands too whatever side you're asking for?

Also, for high five did you do the same thing as teaching shake but just hold your hand higher so he high five's higher and it's not just a shake? If I say high five put my hand higher he reaches out like a shake but has head looking higher at my hand and aiming higher to hit my hand.

He use to be calm and docile and has turned so hyper and wiggly it's hard to teach him.

Hi everybody,I've done a video of the tricks that Mimì can do...the video is a bit dark but it's possible to make an idea.
When I teach a new trick I use to get her a treat and a loud "BRAAAAVAAAA!!!!",I use both verbal solicitation and gesture.When she has already learn the new trick I start to remove the treat so she doesn't do it just for food but I always congratulate her.
here is a demonstration

Just an update. Charlie now knows:

sit
lay down
shake
stay
gimmie kisses
go potty ...or just potty
pick you up
we started crawl, but quit after awhile
spin right

I taught him spin right in just a few sessions over the weekend! I started with only the hand/finger signal but now that he is doing that 100% of the time I've added the verbal cue.

I stopped teaching him commands on the couch. I have him on the floor while I'm sitting in a chair. I also bought a clicker and it helped so much. Picked up all toys/distractions. Need to work on "come" now since he "stays" so well. Sometimes he will stay laying down or sitting just waiting on his treat, lol. Need to phase treat out and figure out a way to get him to just get up. Any ideas? For "come" should I just say his name and "come" while he is still in "stay"??? And click when he reaches my hand then treat?

I am gonna do more training with her after shes all healed up and outa the pen

How did you teach kiss? I know a few ways. Charlie seems to know the command but sometimes will ignore. Sometimes I just wonder if he likes to kiss faces and saying gimmie kisses happens to coincide to when this is happening, lol.

What I did was had the treat in my hand and did a circle around Charlie (weeks ago he would only back up so I didn't even try then). He followed my hand and the second he made that full circle I clicked. Gradually I lifted my hand up further to my knees and then chest. At first I had to do a medium sized circle w/ my hand in the air. Now I just do a tiny circle at my chest level w/ a finger and he spins. He literally learned this in a few short sessions over the weekend.

That was such a beautiful video. I know it sounds silly but it made me cry. My boy Tucker is also the smartest Yorkie in the world. You have inspired me to add tricks to his repertoire. Tucker can Sit, Down, Spin, Stay, Dance, bow down and is a fabulous fetcher. He can also snuggle like nobodies business.

Lola on the other hand we got when she was already 14 months old...she is a princess. Her best trick is batting her eye lashes at you while looking bewildered. I have not decided if she is ummm....not quite as smart as Tucker or just way more stubborn. She however is also a champion snuggler! I really do know how to train basic skills but I can not even convince her to sit.
