He is so cute. I also like the play dead trick the most. I noticed you were giving him a treat in the first one, was it a chicken jerky strip?? He is quite vocal and I love when he was walking for you.

Aww! All these puppies sound so cute!

I've only managed to teach Badger "sit". He either sits or lies down depending on his mood but when he lies down with his little paws out and his head up all alert.... soooo cute! I put my hand out flat when I say it and keep the treat in my other hand. He gets really impatient and starts twitching but I go "Uh!" and then he does a little shake of his head like he's trying to concentrate reallllly hard and then looks at the treat and then back at the hand. He keeps looking at the hand and every now and again looks over at the treat. Then back to the hand. I might film it one day, it's the sweetest thing ever.

Recently I've taught him to retrieve his favourite jingly mouse toy. I roll it down the corridor for him and go "Bring it!" and he runs back with his little ears all flat. He's also learned "Drop it!"

I must say he's been really, really quick with these last two. It was a matter of a couple of goes and he did it. I'm sure everyone says this but I know it's definitely true... MY YORKIE IS THE SMARTEST OF THEM ALL!

It took us probably 4-5 months to learn that one. She hated rolling over so much that she quit laying down because she knew roll over was coming next. Now whenever she lays down she rolls over before I even tell her to just to get it over with.

How do you teach sneezing on command?

Since your dog is not going to know what you are talking about when you just give her a command you have to make your dog sneeze. How you do that is up to you. I use a feather to make mine sneeze. The first time can be a test to see what will make her sneeze and then when she does praise her alot. Next time say the command such as sneeze or any other word or phrase you want and do this before you get her to sneeze and then afterwards she will sneeze and you praise and reward her. You keep doing this and soon she will be able to sneeze on her own when you give her the command.

I'm afraid I can't take credit for teaching her, I just got lucky really. Before I "taught" her I was teaching her to speak well when she was getting warmed up she would sneeze instead of bark then after a little bit she would do a full bark. Like I said I was lucky because I just changed to command from speak to sneeze and pointed to my nose when I said it. She's recently gotten to where she can distinguish between sneezing and speaking and will 90% of the time do the correct one when you ask.

I have read, I believe, that one way to teach them is to get some water in a spray bottle and tell the dog to sneeze and mist the water towards their face then when they sneeze praise them. I don't really know if water will make them sneeze though, I can say that febreeze made my bloodhound sneeze yesterday but I don't think spraying febreeze in their face would be a good thing. Maybe if you found something that made them sneeze and just misted it in their general direction not actually in their face?

I found this website it tells a way to teach them down towards the bottom of the page.... http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/L...44/TRICKS.HTML
This one tells another way....http://articles.pointshop.com/pets/49253.php

Good Luck...it really is a pretty good trick, most people who see it are fairly impressed

I don't remember what it was maybe a small rawhide, but he will do anything for a carrot with a splash of ranch!!

I think Coco's best tricks (and she has a lot since mommy likes to be home to teach tricks which drives daddy mad) is when she sticks out her tongue when you ask "Where's your tongue" and of course her playing dead trick
