So now the boy has the basics, would like to teach him other tricks... things like play dead etc or anything else you lot use... but have no real idea how to get him to start doing this.....

Or just website recommendations would be good

Thankies!
 
my boy does quite alot :D:rolleyes:
play dead - I made him lie down, then said play dead and put him on his side with a treat by his nose so he didnt try to get up so much.
turn around - follow a treat in a circle and give him the treat when he gets back to the beginning then slowly 'lead' him less and less with the treat. (tought my cat this aswell so cant be hard!!)
commando crawl - lie down then get him to follow the treat forwards
paw - pick up his paw and say paw, then tap his ankle?! and when he picks it up say paw
beg - sit then follow treat upwards, only for a second at first then slowwwly slowwly make him last longer before giving him the treat. (my cat does this also ;) ooops...now im bragging!! :o;))
speak - is quite hard, I just got him excited until he barked and said speak...or sometimes he would do it when he didnt understand what i wanted him to do and so would whine at first which i treated until he got the idea.
 
LOL- Dex does spin (at speed!! :)), paw, other paw... was trying crawl the other day but he just did not seem to get it... will persevere!!
 
Mine closes doors, washers, draws etc..... :D
