Tricks to teach?

[bellagirlsmomma]

Just kinda wondering what kind of tricks to teach Bella to do... Wondering what you all have taught your babies to do and when to start?! she definatly already knows the word no.. hehehe.. she is about 18 weeks so i think its time... she will fetch things already!!

I like to teach mine, sit, stay, sit purty, dance (that's doing a circle on two legs), crawl, roll over, and Moka will go and get her humping monkey before she will go to bed. I don't know if that is a trick or a necessity.

Fiona knows how to sit, lay down, put her head down, wait for a treat, and if you hide under a blanket she will find you when you say " help! help! "

I started teaching Josh tricks when he was a puppy. I taught Josh the following tricks: rollover, beg, fetch, speak, sit, stay, come, and spin. My Shih Tzu can do all of those tricks except for fetch, because she dislikes that game. My Shih Tzu does one cool trick that I love. She jumps in the air when I say jump. Right now, I am teaching my dogs to twirl like a ballerina on their hind legs. I would like to teach them the crawl trick after they master the twirl trick. I love to teach my dogs tricks, and they love to get the food reward.

I started when Jackson was around 10 weeks old! He's done great since then. He knows sit, stay, down, come, roll over, shake, high-five, ten-five, bang bang you're dead, dance, crawl, spin, sit pretty (sort of, he still has bad balance), limp, drop it (when he wants to), leave it and we're working on take a bow and shoot a ball through a basketball hoop! I find it to be sooo much fun and so rewarding once they learn the trick! It's a great way to bond with your dog! www.loveyourdog.com/tricks.html is a good site, there's a ton of videos out on youtube, check out Zak George. Here's a thread I started on here http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/tra...-progress.html for trick training etc.
