BAGRI Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 The only tricks Mika knows pat down are "paw" and "which one." Which one is where ill show him a treat and close it in a hand and then ask him which one. Most times he ll paw at the hand the treats in. Sometimes he ll get too excited and just jump on me lol He's known paw since he was 3-4 months. I just taught him which one at 10 months.

persephona Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 We have ours since he was 8 weeks old and we started teaching him stuff as soon as we got him. He knows: sit, lie down, stay, play dead, bow, roll over, paw, both paws, the other paw, crawl and... closing doors on command. This one took me ages to teach in fact, but I am so proud of my boy. This always impresses guests lol. I am now planning to teach him to bark on command and fetch items. I want him to know some useful commands, I sure enjoy teaching him funny tricks, but why not teach him something helpful. I actually got the idea with closing the door because one day I was in bed, the balcony door was open and it was getting cold, so I had to get out of bed and close the door... but I realised I have a dog. He can do that for me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noheroesanymore Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Nilla is young but she knows sit, lay down, dance and paw. We are working on rolling over. Sometimes she does that and other times not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemysiberian Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I got Echo at 5 months and she is now 10 months. So far, as for tricks, she knows: Twirl, Paw, High Five & Bang (which is play dead for her). Working on 'Crawl' right now. As for basic commands so far: Sit, Down, Stay, Come, and Drop It. Working on 'Off' and 'Leave It' right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryin33 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 How do you guys teach play dead and twirl. My mishka is 9 months and she knows, sit, lay down, paw, other paw, both paws, touch (with nose). She has forgotten roll over, newly learned is leave it (with a treat on her paw) until I snap my fingers. She sometimes goes for it to soon tho. Still working on stay. And he comes when she wants to haha. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=42.034637,-72.761215 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinville Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ryn does sit, leave it, touch (touches my hand with her nose), give loves (I get a kiss), shake, and on occassion roll over. She also understands gee, haw, on by, hike, line out and other similar commands. I use these on walks and have since I brought her home. Not only do they come in handy while running them, they are great for walks and even in the home when you need them to move in a specific direction. To teach touch, all I did was put my hand out and say the command. At first I would state the command and then touch her nose with my hand, then treat her. It took her only a few minutes to figure out what I wanted. Begin teaching what you want her to do as early as you can. I usually work with Ryn just a few minutes at a time and we always stop on a positive note. Never extend the training past the point that their attention waives and never end on a failed attempt - stopping the training before they lose interest or before they fail is the most important, IMO. The book Nixy suggested is excellent. We have it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollynDiesel Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Maisy- Sit, paw, laydown for fun tricks which we taught as soon as we got her. Wait, Stay, leave it and back for helpful tricks again as soon as we got her. She was an only dog so it was easier Gizmo- Sit, Paw, laydown (but he gets confused and tries to do all 3 at the same time if he's excited lol) Wait, Stay, leave it and back for helpful tricks. Tried teaching all as soon as we got him (about 10weeks) but he doesnt have the same attention span Maizy does so its taken a bit longer Diesel- Sit, paw (left paw), other paw (right paw), laydown (But he'll only do it if theres something in it for him lol) Wait, leave it and back for helpful tricks and we're working on stay atm. Working on serious tricks more than fun tricks atm. But will be getting the book Nix suggested Have been teaching him most of the serious tricks since we got him so from 10weeks.

Elyse Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Suka knows... Sit Stay Down (lie down) "Ninja!" (Crawl) Come (though its not reliable. Only with food...) Shake-a-paw "Shake-the-other-paw" (beg) Speak "Off" (get off something) "On" (get on something) "Jump" (jump on something) "Go" or "Let's Go" (start moving) "Go get __" (go get <familiar person's name>) "Mat" (go to your mat) "Bed" (go upstairs to go to bed) "C'mon!" (go faster!) "Oi!" or "EH!" (stop that or No!) and there's other words he recognizes...like "food", "squirrel", "cat", "dog", "Do you wanna...", "Walk", "Outside", "Treat", etc, etc...

Smokey Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 These are all the commands that my two understand...They don't do them 100% of the time but I'm happy with them Smokey (Husky) ~1yr sit down come here play dead roll over crawl shake (like he's shaking off water) five high five stand woof go (as in you're free to run off leash) paw other paw take it leave it drop it go around (if his leash gets caught around a pole or bush) get busy (when he needs to poop. this just helps him hurry up...i have a video if you don't believe me bow Zeeva (GSD) ~6-7mo sit down stand roll over come here go (as in you're free to run off leash) shee shee (when she needs to go pee. this just helps her hurry up...) five high five stay with me (for about 5 minutes right now on our walks. i guess it's like heel.) take it leave it drop it Am a proud parent! ))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra & Honey Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You can begin training with a puppy really whenever you want, you just have to make sure you keep training short and sweet to build up the dogs attention span. Usually i just do training sessions of 10-15 mins. Honey is too much of a goofball with her brain injury, she has sit, lay down, wait for food. But that's about it. Osh has a few tricks, as well as some behaviours for work which can be classed as tricks i suppose. She does - Sit Lay Heel Leave it - still working on her sniffing things at times Up - to release from a down stay Shake Right paw, left paw She sits on her butt and waves her front legs Leg weaves Stands up against me while i spin around - this is for doggy dancing Stop Go Back up Lay under - for going under chairs/tables Touch - touches hand or my leg using her nose We're working on Jump through and cross paws Her work skills are coming along - Turns on/off light Gets my medication bag - working on this, she isn't keen on picking things up so much Alerts to anxiety Alerts to me being in a mood - she then uses a grounding behaviour Finds store exit with an Out command. And lastly we're working on her doing some sound alerts, for her to recognise an alarm for me to wake up or do meds. ETA: This trainer has great videos on tricks http://www.dogmantics.com/Dogmantics/Free_Video_List.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
