Challenges so far:
Spin (McKenzie)
Feet up (JessIncaFCR)
Circle around handler (McKenzie)

A while ago we had a trick challenge thread on here where someone posted a trick, and if you taught it and uploaded it in the given time frame you got a point for it.

I thought as there are so many new members that it might be nice to revive (but I have no idea what the original thread was called, so here's a new one!)

Rules:
- First person to upload their video is the 'Trick Master', who gets to choose the next trick.
- The Trick Master chooses the time frame for uploading a video of the trick; usually a few days to a week.
- Due to the varying degrees of ability on this forum the Trick Master may provide a 'standard' and 'advanced' version of the trick if they want.
- You receive one point for each 'standard' trick performed, and a point and a star for each 'advanced' trick performed. You can do both the standard and the advanced versions, but you'll still just get 1 point (and a star).
- Tricks should be performed on command, without excessive luring (particularly if you are doing the 'advanced' version of a trick.)
- Tricks should be trained using kind methods. Dogs shouldn't experience any stress whilst being taught a trick.
- If you own multiple dogs you will receive a point for each dog you perform the trick with.

Let's go!

So the first trick is a nice simple one - spin. Your dog should spin 360 degrees. I'll accept a spin in either direction for a point. If your dog can spin in both directions you'll get a point and a star. You have 4 days - I'll close it at midnight on Tuesday (your time).

Example - this would earn you a point and a star.

Loved the last trick forum challenge so will try to keep up with this one. It gives good motivation to try to learn something new with training instead of the same training session going over things they already know which I seem to be doing a lot of lately.

Will film Izzy and Jasper doing twirl sometime this weekend :)

Ooh I'll see if I can get one (or both!) of mine to learn to spin the other way. They both know how to spin anticlockwise at the moment but I've not really attempted clockwise!

Well done :) Maisie's anticlockwise is a little 'weavy' but I'll accept it :D You are the new Trick Master :thumbup: I'll do a league table for when my trick closes and then you're free to start the next one :)

Count me and Skip in :D The last forum challenge thread was so much fun!

We have some training to do... He can spin anti-clockwise but I don't think we've attempted the other way :lol:

Ooh, I wanna play! Just to figure out what dog to participate with, Missy or Cash or both. Ty bless him isn't really a trick kinda guy, although does know a few. Cash knows no tricks currently so it might be a good opportunity to learn something new with him.

ETA: I don't have a YT account either, so my videos will likely all be hosted on Flickr.
