How did you train Jackson to do all that? How old is Jackson? He is adorable!

[Dana6]

Wow! Jackson must learn really fast! I can't believe all of the tricks he knows. Do you have a site where you learned to teach him all of these tricks? He seems very eager to please you...what a sweet boy!

Thanks everyone! As for me making tutorial videos -- I don't know about that! LOL. I'm terrible at explaining things. We'll see. I prefer to listen to other peoples advice.

Jackson is 1 year old (and 3 months to be exact). I honestly NEVER expected to be into training when I got Jackson but I quickly realized how smart he was and put him to work. It helps during these Winter months when we can't really go outside as much to keep him occupied and keep his brain movin'. I trained him using various different methods I saw on YouTube as well as through reading. I've heard great things about clicker training but have yet to try it out. I did just buy a clicker so we're gonna give it a whirl.

He does learn pretty quickly (of course, he's no Border Collie ) but certain tricks will take him longer than others. He learned crawl in about 2 minutes (we're still working on fading the treat lure) but it took him 2 weeks to learn "bang bang, you're dead" and we're still working on perfecting take a bow... he's not 100% consistent with it yet. Some YouTube sites I used were usernames kikopup and zakgeorge21 but if you do a few searches you will find more! A great beginner site is Dog Tricks! Shake, Crawl, Beg, Kiss, Roll Over, Bow, and more!

Oh, I watch training techniques on youtube also. Do you watch the zackgeorge clicker training thing? I have a clicker...it doesn't quite work for me...Let me know how it goes for you! Good luck...which you don't need since Jackson is so smart!

OMG Brit! Jackson is so smart and so darn cute!!!! Not only did he work hard at learning those tricks but you worked hard teaching him all those tricks! Jack is learning some tricks - but no where near what you have taught Jackson.
