[--Miz--]

Quick update.Mojo has gotten along wonderfully with training tips from here and doesn't even try to run from the back anymore.He's got sit,say,down,off,stand,and we are working on shake.Any ideas on tricks to go on after that?He'a a quick learner so I'm really running out of ideas to teach without props or another person.

Spin? It's pretty easy.

Thank you both for the suggestions!I want to get him to speak on command,but with previous barking problems I'm apprehensive about doing that as it might bring back ba habits.I will look up spin though.

Id Like some tricks that would take her a while to learn. With Bernie being a Husky, Super active and hyper I want to give her a challenge!

@ Tisha-nick
If you're looking for something hard for her, I can think of 2 things. One that doesn't take quite so long, and one that's a continuous game type thing for her.
1: You can teach her to pick up her toys and put them into a basket.
2: you can teach her to find things of a particular scent! For example hold something up with a scent, and tell her to go find it and she'll sniff it out! This one's ongoing as you can teach her the names of specific things and eventually tell her to go get some things (Go get monkey! Go get a tissue! etc). Also, if i were you I'd teach her the difference between 'go find' and 'go get'. I think this a cool and helpful trick to teach ^.^ I can't do this so much with my dog as he's too small to get a lot of things so I've only taught him things like names for different toys (bear, ball, monkey) and to find my shoes as I'm forever losing them.
If you want to choose either of these then I'll tell you how to teach her!
I will try and think of some more though! It would help if you gave me a list of the other tricks she knows!

@Mojosgirl326
Have you tried roll over, or 'Bang!'? (Bang being play dead) I also taught Ozzy 'put your hands up!' Where he went into a begging position with his paws up. He then goes into bang, which i find quite cute.
Also, you can teach him to weave through your legs, and/or jump over your legs!
Again, if you like the sound of any of these, just ask and I'll tell you how to teach them! (or at least how i taught Ozzy)

I got your pm, just posting it here for anyone else who needs it. I taught my dog by just doing a hand gesture then barking. I know that sounds funny, but it slowly began to work. Once she got a hang of it i did just the hand gesture and then started to say speak. encourage him. :) <3 I am very tired at the moment so sorry i cant give you my best reply. Also, again, thank you everyone for the help. Im so busy.
