Teaching Jesse new tricks

[dogsgalore]

I taught Jesse a new trick. He does a high five, he sits up his his hind legs and slaps my hand with his paw. I'm also teaching him to hold his paw up like it was lame, then I want to teach him to walk with it off the ground, like the dogs in the movies. He's very smart and catches on so quick! I taught him high five this morning, it's easy to teach him to do stuff with his paws. Teaching him to be lame is taking a little longer though. He does tricks for pieces of dog food! I gave one to Beta and she's like," Dog food!? I want a treat, not dog food!" She must think Jesse is a real sucker, here he is doing tricks for it and she won't even take it for free! :lol:

Sounds fun! :D How did you teach him to do that? :)

LOL as long as Beta doesn't whisper in Jesse's ear that he should have higher standards for accepting food :wink:

Good for you keeping him mentally stimulated; I love seeing owners working with their dogs :D

That walking limp thing is a great idea! I have been trying to think of a new trick for Buck and that sounds like a really fun one!
