woo hoo

i been trying to teach tia to rollover for the last 10 mins and i think she has cracked it already, well i say cracked but she has done it 5 times on her own now
i say roll over with a hand siganal she thinks about it then does it
im so pleased with how quick she is learning new tricks, i think soon i will be able to teach her how to hoover and polish lol

loves my dogs

Nice work! Funny, Roll-over is the only trick our dog just didn't want to learn. He just refuses it. Anyways amazing she is a such a quick learner and good luck with the other tricks. What tricks can she perform already?

well at the moment she is very good at

sit
wait
lay
paw (for the other paw i say other one)
come

practicing

roll over
on your back

im really pleased with her training at the moment and she is only 10 weeks

When you teach her to hoover and polish , come and train mine will ya LOL

Great job

Behaviours like these are much more than tricks, however. Roll overs, but keeping them with their belly up, or 'Dead dog' are great things to use at the vets.

Also, hand targetting and 'touch' training is brilliant for fearful and reactive dogs, who will follow your hand whilst walking through busy environments.

Much more than just for show!

well im really impressed with her, she learns so fast its amazing, she seems to be more interested in learning with better treats i.e peices of chicken rather than dry biscuits but i guess thats obvious really.

at the moment she only seems to want to learn for about 10 mins twice a day then she seems to loose concentration im hoping thats down to her age.

there is one more thing that she has learnt and thats not to go into the cat's feeding room ( which is a under stairs cupboard) even with food in there and the door open she wont go in there she just sits at the entrance looking in, not sure if she would go in unsupervised but we never leave her any way

How do you teach them roll over?? I've been trying for a while, and it's not working I'm guessing you get them down first, then try to bait them over?

well basically i told her to lay then the first few times i rolled her over myself, she soon realised and done it her self.

belly up seems abit more difficult as she keeps going to far over but im gonna keep tryin

The easiest way is to get the dog into a down and then lure their head around over one shoulder, then lure their nose over their back, which [in the perfect world!] should prompt a roll onto their back and over again.

It doesn't always go as smoothly though!
