Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Ours is "place," which means: go lay on your bed until we say you can move. Love it. Most helpful command we have.
What's your favorite? It could be useful or entertaining. |

| I think mine is a toss up between "speak" and "high five", sheerly for entertainment purposes. I really need to take a video of speak and post it in that thread... _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| Hmmm, for Kody it's "punch" he looks so cute doing that! Now Mya's is "speak". As for useful, it's "wait" while on walks. They need to "wait" for each other to finish smelling or while i'm picking up poop. If I had them pulling me in all directions that wouldn't be fun! lol |

| "Shake, shake, shake!" As in shake your body. I make them shake off on command a few times after I bath them or if they've just been digging to get the sand off of them. _________________ -Sara |

| He's probably the cutest when he's doing "high five", but the boys have taught him "Die!". He falls over on his side like he's dead. They are going to try to add a sign of pointer finger like a gun and change the "Die!" comand to "Pow" or "Bang" or something. The boys want to be able to show off to their friends that they can pretend to shoot him and he dies. Poor dog... |

| "drop it" and "leave it" are the most useful that we use. The most fun are "rollover", "spin", and "speak" |

| The cutest one for Luka is "take a bow". My favorite is that she can identify some of her toys by name when asked.
Kitty loves to "spin". She goes so fast! She looks super cute when she targets. Targeting is when she touches her nose to something.
Most useful for both is gee and haw! |

| I don't have a favorite. But I love the "high-five", "Wait" for when I put their food bowls down or want to go through a door before them, and "upstairs-downstairs" so that I don't have to physically walk them down every time they come up when not allowed lol. Working on "Speak" and "get the kitty!!" if they get that last one I have a feeling that will be my favorite |

| Adobo understands the shake shake command but Biko hasn't yet caught on to it.
Adobo we often tell her to tell us a story and she just goes on and on with all kinds of whines, yips, and barks of weird sorts.

I just started really trying to teach them "back up". I do it when I preparing their food and when I go open the door. Going to take a while and patience, but this would help with many things! It takes me 10min just to feed them..lol. It's like "back up", "sit"...ok they did it...turn around to continue preparing food...boom they're back to both sitting next to me. Repeat..lol |

| If she is really excited, then I have to tell her 3 or 4 times as well. She thinks the minute I turn my back that the command doesn't matter anymore. She really is so much better though. I'm proud of her! |
