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.

Just did it while I had 5 minutes, excuse the roll over-he likes to try to do every trick lol
Well done :)

Here's ours :) All four dogs spinning both ways

Pet Forums Trick Challenge No.1 - Spin/Twirl - YouTube
Great job. Holly is very enthusiastic!

This isn't Io's best. I had to give a slight hand signal for the right spin, which I generally don't need to do, but she did do a little cry after a bit so I stopped as she is sore from spay.

Pet Forums Trick # 1 - YouTube
Poor Io :( Nice spins :)

Well done :)

Jasper's and Izzy's twirl :). for some reason my camera doesn't record the first 3 seconds so I missed a bit of the beginning.

Great job :) I'm completely in love with Izzy (still!) :001_wub:

Finally found a minute to do this!
(Meant to do it last night but was called out to help look for a lost dog, thankfully he was found this morning).

Apologies for the crappy video, haven't quite got the hang of my new phone yet! But this is our submission for twist and spin :)

Ok so Ive been teaching Apollo to spin since the day before yesterday, he's got it but not both ways he got both ways last night but it seems to have slipped his mind again, we tried doing both ways earlier but there was too much going on for him as my friends LOs were here while she was visiting her mum in hospital so he was spinning but wouldnt go the other way, so i tried it again just now and it's not as enthusiastic as it was this morning but he did spin the one way, which is great as i don't think i've really set out to teach him any new tricks in over a year really. so here it is, i will point out he's very tired from running round with two 4 year olds and a 1 and a half year old all day :lol:

Here is my three!

I might have failed already as Missy & Ty got at least two right hand spins in! :D

They hadn't performed this trick in a while so hand lures were needed I'm afraid. And Cash is learning especially for this challenge :)

*Please excuse the state of my kitchen floor. Have recently moved and it's a bit of an empty shell right now*

Nice job with Missy and Ty :) Unfortunately I can't really accept Cash's - there's just too much luring and it doesn't look like he's 'learnt' the trick, he's just following the food. But if you keep working on it and post again when you're ready I'll accept it then :)

I might be too late, sorry, but here is Riley's attempt! Started learning it two days ago and Riley seems to respond better to hand commands than voice commands :)
I did try to teach Taza spin, but she refused to be lured by food and would just sit there and twist her head around to grab the food, cunning little doggie :rolleyes:

Hope it's okay!

Will get the next one uploaded for later this evening :)

I was going to do this and forgot...so it's a rubbish video as it's all I've had time for today.

He only does that direction though, lol. (I also haven't hoovered today, though that seems to be a common theme on this thread)
Lol i did hoover in the morning but after having 3 kids under 5 running around making a mess all day and the dog running round with them I didn't have the energy to hoover again for a short video :lol:

Oh I am sorry I completely forgot. We'll try to do a catch up this weekend. I'm actually trying to get Molly to get into the new car boot. For a dog who can clear a 4ft fence and then some, she's good at selective jumping.
 
#47 ·
Just to confirm that needs to be done on cue rather than just during a shaping session? :)
Yeah preferably on cue :) Sorry if the video isn't very clear.

Will likely have to sit this one out. I think my two would have their two front feet on...but not their back, and they certainly don't know it on command only.

Good luck guys!
Sorry about that..do you want me to change it to allow front or back?

Forgive me for butting in but isnt the point to teach and learn new tricks ;)

Saying that noo seems to have no idea here her back feet are :rolleyes:
