that was funny! mine will give five, sit, etc if you got a treat in your hand. all will come if i use the command word WHO WANTS A TREAT? |
Keeley has learned every trick I have taught him... Sit, Lay Down, Stay, Wait, wave, shake, roll over, turn around, speak, say please, on your back, kisses, watch me, come, go get him/her, go get (then the toy specified), heel, go to your bed, and take a bow BUT When I tell him to do these tricks he looks at me like "What am I going to get?" And then if he sees it is worth his time he'll do it. Such a brat! ;) |
I trained my beautiful terrier mix, who passed away in January, to sit, shake paws (both), lie down, roll over, stay, fetch each of her toys from her toybox by name (she had about 10 different ones) and she could play hide and seek (she'd seek a toy that we hid somewhere in the livingroom). She danced, and did so many other wonderful things. Topher is learning something new just about every week. Repetiton and reward are the key, and it MUST be fun for them. A nice tiny little treat (usually a tiny puppy food cause they're tastier....something they can eat quickly and not get distracted with). He's a smart little fella and has done so well at potty training that I know he'll have fun learning more and more things. |

yeah i wish. romeo does whatever he wants. he is actually in the process of training me! lol. |
Tucker does sit and down every time without fail. he's still working on the others though. :) but he also does some cute tricks that he does every time. such as: roll over, shake, wave, spin etc |
Yes, Joey does those commands -plus alot more - quite reliably. Here are some short videos of him (please excuse the photography): http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?use...cdate=20060121 |

If pup stops following the commands, you've gone too fast. Move back beside the counter, repeat the above, moving away more slowly. The dog gradually learns that he still gets his treat even if he can't see it. Joey will now happily follow a command for me out in the yard, knowing that I will say "GOOD BOY! Let's go get your TREAT!" and that I will follow through with his treat. Sometimes, I make it more fun by racing him back to the treats! :D Good luck! |

My kids love to take an afternoon and try to teach him something new. It was my 16 year old who taught him to sit and she accomplished that in about 5 minutes with his favorite treats. These guys are pretty smart and I find they LOVE to learn. It keeps them busy and out of trouble!!lol As far as treats go, after a while they'll love to do the trick (or whatever) without worrying about the treat...they love the praise more than anything. When Topher knows he's done something right he dances around so proud of himself....of course he's probably just reacting to my excitement, but it is cute. |
