Willow loves to play fetch and she is getting really good at it. She has learned that she can leap pretty high and catch it in mid flight. The main part of my house is all open so we play ball in the house every night. It never gets old watching her do this. What cool tricks do your dogs do?

Mine can run and......run....and run......

Does removing bottle caps count as a trick?

Aevyn likes to dance. He'll put his paws in my hands and he'll start bouncing around from side to side. :3

Koda does your basics.. sit, lay, stay, shake, spin, wait.. he plays fetch and will jump in the air to catch a ball or toy. All Rogue knows right now is sit, need to get on teaching her the rest!

Nikolai can do the basics, like sit, down, hold, leave it, gee/haw, come (not as well as I'd like, but decently). He's also good at High Paw! and Circle (spin). Trying to think of other fun things to train him.

ETA: Oh, he can catch just about anything you toss in his mouth, too. Especially fun with popcorn. ;-)

Appa KNOWs sit, down, stay, shake, wait, "here", however, "on your back (the no shame pose)" he's being kind of a punk recently and is picking and choosing when he wants to obey some of those. He'll play fetch for a bit, but he seems to get bored/hot pretty quick. If you throw it high he loses it; I don't think he's learned that he can look up yet. And catching things in his mouth? Pah! Not even. I've tried tossing cheese and hot dogs at him, and they can hit him square in the nose and he doesn't do anything, just watches it fly at him.

Do your dogs "speak" on command? My first husky would have not "spoke" if her life depended on it!! We succeeded in teaching Sabaka to "speak", however, he HATES to do it. I need to try to get a video. He first looks like, "Oh no, you're not serious?" then "Oh, she's serious. I'll look away and maybe she'll forget that she asked me to do this dreadful thing..." then "Maybe if I move my mouth like a 'WOOF' is coming out but make no sound she'll be happy." He's SO funny!!

Ha! I get the same "You're not serious?" look from Chili when I try to play fetch or have him run after a ball! He did it once, brought it back and looked at me like "I know how this goes, and this is stupid. I'm not that kind of dog. You humans bore me."

Chili knows all his commands plus High Five (which he does with his whole body and much enthusiasm, it's kinda like a frat boy high five. hehe) When he does "Up" (jump), he looks HUUUUGE. He also does "touch noses", "kiss me" and "gimme belly". He also rolls over for tummy rubs when we approach him making wiggly fingers.

Frosti is new - so working on her commands and tricks. She does do High Five though, it's so cute! I don't know if I taught her it or she knew it, because she picks up things so fast. Frosti can jump 6 ft from a stop, does that count? She also sailed over a 4 1/2 ft gate at day care, leaping over a day care worker at the same time! I may start a husky version of Cirque de Soleil with her!

Embry can sing on command it's so cute, except now he gets sing and sit confused and all he does is howl and bark when i try getting him to sit

I'd pay to see that! Willow is a great jumper! She will be sitting next to Dakota one minute and all I gotta do is throw that ball and she leaps over him from a sitting position like she has springs in her feet.

Willow just learned that if she flips her head she can throw the ball at me!! She hit me in the head! Now she won't stop!

Kale can spin, leave it command with treats on his paws, and rollover, and he does speak on command

Chloe can shake, give kisses, hugs, and best of all, knows how to distract us so she can do something wrong. Then just be plain adorable when she gets caught. SIGH.....

JO

Isis can sit, lay down, roll over, fetch and "bring it back" (as two seperate commands), tug, and entertains people when she rings her "I need to go out" bell way too often.

She is also just starting to realize that she doesn't have to wait until the ball is on the floor stopped to grab it. She hasn't gotten it in midair yet, I think she's a bit scared of it.
