New tricks :)
Any tips, or anything fun I could try?!
FYI she's 10 months, but learns very quickly.
Thanks :)

We taught Wynn our 1st Corgi to roll over using cherries. We practiced every night before bedtime.

My dogs don't do much in the way of tricks but they love Cheerios and I save those for for toenail trims, baths and/or grooming. They seem to love them.

I'm working on teaching words. When I ask her to bring things or put things in her bed she confuses items. If I ask her to bring me her leash she might bring me my shoes. If I ask her to put her toy in her bed she sometimes puts a slipper in her bed. Not sure why she gets the whole command but forgets the items. She likes the practice though. Have fun!

Ha! That's cute! Penny plays fetch for a long time but has brief attention moments where she has to herd the cats away and give me kisses. Then goes back to playing fetch. She's in the chewing stage so I don't want her getting the wrong idea with my shoes ;)

Very good point Holly. Words are important and we actually made a list of words to teach our dogs in our one class. Then started adding one a week while continuing to practice the ones already taught. The list can get lengthy but include word or phrases such as "look at me".

Murray loves to roll over, play dead, spin, unwind, go back, stand beside me and scoot sideways, weave through my legs as I walk, bow, stick jump among other things. I taught most of them by having him follow food in my hand. A lot of people use a clicker to train...I'm not coordinated enough! You can use a verbal marker rather than a clicker "yes!" or click your tongue. There are a lot of training videos and dog trick videos on line.

Sage was clicker trained in her classes and even though I don't use it anymore I do click with my mouth especially to let her know when she's doing a great job and even if she's just being good. It was hard to get used to because you do need to "click" at just the right time.

There are so many tricks! Check out "Do More With Your Dog". They have books with 101 tricks. Lots of easy ones, and some are a little more advanced, but you will get lots of ideas. They give you easy to read instructions too. And they have a program where you can get trick titles. You might be able to find a trick training class near you that helps you work toward these titles. Also check out dog trick youtube videos. Kikopup is a great site. I've gotten lots of ideas from there. I began teaching Jeli tricks when I got her at 9 weeks and we just keep adding to the list of what she knows. She loves it - thinks its all a game. Sit, down, stand, rollover, bang, shake, wave, spin, bow, backup, get it, bring (fetch), are all good beginner tricks. Also don't forget the practical things you need everyday; good leash walking manners, stay, wait, leave it, come, heal, speak, quiet, get in your crate. These things can all be taught just like tricks so your dog thinks they are all fun. It builds a great bond between you and your dog also. Have fun!

We taught Jerry to shake and high-five early on and it's a HUGE crowd-pleaser. A fun trick to practice by having other people do it! Your vet will enjoy it also!
You can read different methods in training the trick online, but once you get the general hang of it, they take to it pretty quick.
I've since taught him to shake with any object extended towards his legs. Feet, elbows, head, toys, etc.
