Tricks to teach your dog?

Get his lead or food dish Wipe his feet on a mat Jump through a hoop made with your arms Spin around while on 2 feet Yawn Shake when wet Prey before a meal.

Sign him up to be a member of parliament because he sounds like he'd be a lot better than David Cam-moron.

I realise people outside the UK use the word tricks in perhaps a different way to how we do, but for me, dogs don't need to learn 'tricks'. They just have to be trained to be obedient. Their name (come), drop/leave in case they get hold of something valuable/dangerous.

Coupled with their name - come...... a solid recall. And how to walk nicely on a lead without tugging. Etc.

I don't do tricks with dogs. Ps I'd never teach a dog to roll over - having lived with a breed prone to GDV (bloat with torsion), risking twisting the stomach is the last thing I'd want mine doing! Why is that necessary re obedience?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
