stupid pet tricks
I was just doing some 'training' with Roxy. We have a few stupid tricks
that are just fun, like high five and dance-dance (she will stand up on her hind legs and dance with me. My daughter taught her this one). Back in grad school, my husband and I had a wonderful labXshepherd who was bigger than me. Her name was Raven and she lived 13 wonderful years. My husband taught her the greatest trick, I'm thinking of teaching it to Roxy. "Missionary, Raven" --- Raven would lay on her back and spread her front and rear legs. The first time my mother saw this trick she was mortified. It still makes me smile. - Lynne |

if you sneeze, he runs, finds the kleenex box and offers it to you I wish I could teach my dogs this but I think the tissue box is too big and heavy for them to carry it to me. Maybe when I get a standard poodle I can try this one. It would be mighty helpful during allergy season! |

They could probably handle a purse-sized pack of tissues... unless they decided it was more fun to rip the tissues out of the package. Dylan's trick was a bit less useful. Whenever she'd me hear blowing my nose, she'd come running, and then try to snatch the tissue out of my hand, sometimes mid-blow. No, she didn't deposit it in the trash, but she did dispose of it - if she got it, she'd run away, shred it and eat it. :-P FurPaw -- "None of us is as smart as all of us." Oh yeah? None of us is as stupid as all of us, either. To reply, unleash the dog. |

With the teeny dogs, you just shift the trick so that they go get you a tissue *from* the box, rather than bring the whole box. Its cute. Tara |

diddy wrote: As for his find the keys .. I have a small nitro pill bottle (the teeny kind you put on your neck.) I took out the "o"-ring that seals moisture out. I took a cotton swab, and dipped it in coyote attractant. I can't smell it in the nitrobottle, but Tuck certainly can. I attached one of these on all my keys. No matter where they are, Tuck can sniff them out, and find them. It's the only think in the house with that distinctive smell, so he can easily locate them. The nitro fob is never in the way on the key chain. You don't notice it. But it's guaranteed never to have your keys lost. I trained it by when he sniffed it (and he naturally would, being a canine attractant) I clicked and treat. eventually this lead to his searching for it in an area, then aroom, and ultimately anywhere in the house. ANYONE can teach their dog to find their car keys with this method. I'm going to try this. I can find another use for coyote attractant while I'm at it. Amy Dahl |
