Another behavior for improving balance is to put a boogiboard in a plastic kiddy pool and teach your dog to stand on it. You can gradually increase the water level, and once your dog has a really good grasp of it, you can even pull them on it when you’re in a real pool or lake.

“Say AH” really becomes helpful when she goes to see the veterinarian or as a demo for fun! Thanks for the list. You are right we sometimes forget about just the simple things that can be shaped into great, fun things to show off and to make us laugh.

Well, in the list I saw wave then later I saw sitting pretty – my Beagle-boy Shiloh will wave while sitting pretty. He also likes to dance or twirl while standing on his back legs. Both of my Beagles, Shiloh’n Shasta are Canine Good Citizens so they do have a few skills but they both can sit pretty, roll-over & back up. You can read more about them on our blog.

I love this list. I played with it for the month of July while I was living at our summer house with my 7 month old pup, and vowed that I would not think about agility, only tricks. I always worked in very short sessions, keeping everything to very short “clickable” parts and worked on something new every day. She absolutely loved the learning/ playtime and now, back in our real life, she comes to me at the same time every day with that look that says, “let’s play mom, I want to learn a new trick!” There is nothing like the undivided attention, energy and irresistable insistence of a puppy who loves to learn. Also, the daily game of doing tricks has evolved into simple flatwork and freestyle movements that have her thinking about working close to my body and away from my body. For example, she weaves at good speed through my legs as I walk forward or backward and widens or closes the loops depending on my arm movements. I never do this for more than about three passes through the “weaves,” then I tug or toss or treat so it’s a big reward for a small effort. The best thing about all of this is not just that I it helped my dog to love to play and learn (something I believe as people, with serious and busy lives, also deperately needed to learn), it has helped me unfocus on agility. We are having so much fun, we aren’t obsessed with obstacles and sequences like I was with my first agility dog. I know that when the time comes and puppy-bones are mature, she will be confident and focused and we will have the incredible relationship that I have always dreamed about having with my agility partner.

I teach my pups to close the kitchen cabinets…it helps them to get use to moving things and the reward doesn’t come until they “Bang” it. Also Saga’s infamous trick that earned me $5,000 in a trick contest….HUMP!!! ( I call it “Show some LOVE”) keep in mind she is a girl…and it has been very useful on the set… As always great idea to put it all these tricks on a list together!!
