Dog Tricks

[kit]

I have a 5 month old german shepherd and have been training him to do different tricks. He has sit, down, stand, stay, off, crawl, shake a paw and jumps through a hoop pretty well down pat and I was courious what other dog tricks I could try to teach him so let me know what other dogs tricks you have!!!

Rollover, high five, pole weaving, teeter totter up down...
Lol, there's probably a ton. Sounds like he is a very smart fellow.

ohhhh this could be a good thread!! I would love to teach my dog more tricks too--like do the dishes, laundry, vaccum and pick up poop! Any ideas anyone?? LOL

One trick I can't get my dog to do is roll over! He always lays flat like a rug, so I can't get him to roll!!

I saw this lady roll down a plastic bag so you can see the bottom and her retriever then proceeds to poop in the bag. I don't know if you can get a visual of it. But basically she puts the bag down and open and the dog goes over to it and poops in the bag. Thats a trick Id like capone to learn. Im sick of feeling mushies in my hand. Yuk!

Never thought of practical tricks.... hmmm I would like a chef please. Any ideas how to get the dog to cook? or maybe it should be folding laundry... wow, the possibilities.

I love that.. "mushies"

Now that we have a dog, I totally understand what you mean.

I would love for Belle to look at the caller ID, pick up the phone and bark at the telemarketers for a bit, then hang up.

I had a dog that would "say his prayers", it was cute. He put his paws on a small footstool then put his head down on his paws...bowed. It got a lot of "awwwwwws".

Spinning! On Phil's last day of puppy school the trainer taught us a couple of fun tricks. The first was spinning where basically the dog looks like shes chasing her tail. It's very fun to watch although it does make you a little dizzy. The second was teaching the dog to weave through your legs. I guess that could be kind of hard with a big dog but fun with small ones.

Would it be a bad thing to teach Daisy to go to the fridge and get me a beer?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the poopin' in the bag idea.
