Does anyone have any ideas for a new trick train off?
I have been thinking of a few lately... let me know if any of these sound like fun!
- Moonwalking
I have been wanting to teach my dogs this FOREVER. The thing is, I'm not sure what would qualify as "moonwalking". I usually say they're moonwalking when they scratch the ground/walk backwards after peeing. But, "moonwalking" could also be backing up in a bow. Thoughts?
- Finding specific objects by name
The dog would have to retrieve various toys from a pile by name. Alternatively, the dog could be taught to identify items of different colors or shapes. Or, they could find/bring household items.
- Balancing
Dogs who already have target training might have an advantage here, but I think it would be cool to teach our dogs to hit a "mark", on something that they have to balance on... a pumpkin, perhaps, to keep with the season? haha
-Roll themselves up in a blanket/towel
This one would definitely be a challenge.
Anyone?
