What tricks can your dog do??

[Dekka]

Oh I forgot... Dekka will open a book, flip a few pages then 'read'...

[Chewbecca]

oh!!!!
I forgot something as well!
Both of my dogs can open doors with turning knobs to some degree.

I didn't teach them this, though, and CERTAINLY try not to reinforce it.

They have their Papa Don to thank for knowing this trick.

[Dekka]

lol Becca.. I swear the ability to open doors is genetic in some terriers. OMG barrier must past!

[Sekah]

Last count, Cohen knew 62 cues. Some of these are more situational than "tricks" per se, but then again, everything is a trick to a dog.


New cues:

Weave (through poles), high five, target w/ back legs, around, tug, "through" (reverse weaving through legs), blow bubbles, handstand (still needs refined), go behind, focus forward "watch it".

Previous cues:

Touch, sit, down, speak, come, stand, paw, stay, bang, roll "over", back up, go pee, go to bed, go outside, heel, front, heel in reverse, bow, jump "up", jump "over", jump into "arms", circle, circle in reverse "beep beep", pivot, spin, twist, weave, find a toy, figure "eight", get it, drop it, leave it, table, tunnel, head up, head down, nose bridge "push", pop, beg, balance on back legs "be people", crawl, "cross" paws, "open" door, "close" door, scoot, teeter, walk (obstacle), mark, formal retrieve, out, quiet, limp.

E: Here's a video of some of Cohen's more recent tricks. YouTube - Fun and amazing dog tricks

[Sit Stay]

Quinn can:

Come
Sit
Down
Stand
Back up
Wait
Stay (different than wait - used in emergencies or situations where I need her to stay put for awhile)
Settle
Look
Leave it
Drop it
Give it
Grab it
Hustle (hurry up!)
Head down (just learning this, have done a couple sessions)
Target with nose
Target with paw
Shake (paw)
Curtsy (cross paws)
Crawl (just learning this one too)
Spin both ways

Sit can be done in front of me and at a distance. Down can be done in front, at distance, and in motion. So can wait and stay. Back up can be done in front of me and at a distance.

I want to teach her to weave through legs (should be easy, she already weaves through legs when she's excited), cross (same as curtsy, but other foot), smile (when she gets silly she'll wrinkle her nose up and show you her teeth, LOL Dekka's seen a bit of this, but she still won't offer it by herself) next.

You should capture this (maybe using a clicker) cause OMG its great!! And could potentially be very useful.

[Chewbecca]

Oh!
My dogs can "Back".
That is used for times when they like to rush up to the door to be let out, and they get over-excited, and I have to tell them "back.".
They do so, then they get the "wait" command.

You all keep reminding me of things my dogs can do! They can do more than I can remember at one time.

[mrose_s]

Quinn can do all the basics, sit, come, lie down, etc.

As for tricks she does -

Spin (to the left)
Twist (to the right)
Weave through my legs while I'm standing or walking.
Sit Pretty
Roll on her back
Lie on her side
Jump on my back when I bend over (her new favourite - I have to keep expecting it)
Close the cupboard doors
Retrieve things I point to
Touch my hand with her nose
Spin backwards around me

[sparks19]

my dogs don't do any tricks lol seriously. They don't do anything other than hold the couches down and clean off the counters

[MicksMom]

-Listen (look at me/pay attention)
-Get in (get closer to me)
-Scootch (move up a little while sitting)

Tricks:
-Paw/shake (left and right)

-Find it (either a hidden cookie or a bumper)
-Head down (put his chin on the floor. He will do it from a down, sit and stand)

See, I KNEW I was going to forget something! LOL

-Wait (not a serious Stay. More like a pause. I use it before I let him out of the vehicles, among other times.)
-Show me dinner (he touches his dinner dish)
-Show me cookie (he noses the cookie jar. When asked at bedtime, he noses the one with the big cookies in it)
