Strangest tricks and commands

[IRescue452]

What are the strangest tricks or commands your dog knows? Autumn goes to the bathroom on command, and if she doesn't have to go, she squats down and fakes it. Pepper doesn't do anything anymore but she never really did much anyway, she used to dance in circles on her hind feet and that was her only real trick.

when my hubby and i are getting ready to go somewhere(shopping,dinner,etc.)...we tell maximus "we'll be back in a little bit"...in other words, he's not going....HE POUTS!!!...it's so sad...he puts his head down and walks slowly to the bed....we're almost in tears before we get out the door...

Well, last night, one of her one time tricks was get your collar. I threw it away and she got it back. Lexi learns tricks in 5 minutes!

Here are some that she learned in that amount of time:

Turn
Around
High Five
Paw
Other Paw
Easy
Hold It
Keep It
Roll over
Bang, bang

Theres more, I'll post them later

My chihuahua does an imitation of a frog. When I say "stretch those froggie legs" she lies flat on the carpet with her back legs stretched out and she drags herself around on the carpet in a circle. It looks really funny and her back legs stretched out like that remind me of frogs legs.

If Niño looks like he is going to pee on something he isn't alowd, I saw "No Pee" and he leaves it alone.

When Wylie is trying to chew something he shouldn't we tell him "get your kong" and he stops chewing and looks for the kong until he finds it.

Peej knows several of his toys by name...which I guess isn't strange.

Probably the strangest thing my dogs know how to do is to "say please". This is the quiet (growl instead of bark) version of speak.

Blaze doesn't really have any strange tricks...I'll havta think about that one.

Piddle is the same way! Except we say "We'll be right back".

My dog Baxter will run into his kennel in the garage when I say bedtime. It can be anytime of day too.

FOXY GOES AND HAS A DRINK OF WATER ON COMMAND. I JUST STARTED SAYING HAVE A DRINK EVERY TIME WE WERE AT DOG TRAINING BECAUSE HE DESEN;T LIKE DRINKING WATER WHEN ANOTHER DOG HAS HAD SOME.
I DIDN'T EVEN MEAN TO TEACH HIM THIS BUT IT'S STRANGE WHAT DOGS LEARN

Pingo, one of my main lead dogs, has her very own command. She's a trail dog at heart. She takes commands, but she really loves to decide which way the team will go on her own. Somedays when I don't care about where we are going, when we come to a fork in the trail, I tell her "Pingo Pick a Trail". She gets to decide which way we go. It's kinda fun. Usually she picks a trail she is familiar with, but we've been to some new places because of Pingo.

I foster a lot of puppies and our Husky Mix Deogee has appointed himself as "the babysitter" of all the babies. If I say "Deogee, where's the babies" he'll go look for them and whine when he finds them, if I say "Go get the babies" he'll go find them and bring them back to me. It's really nice and makes my job easier .

WOW! These tricks everyone's dog's know are great!! How fun to hear about them and how they picked them up!
Duncan doesn't really do any fancy tricks...He does lots of little things...I guess the best one would be "wait" When he is off leash and gets too far away for my comfort while we are walking, I say "wait" and he turns around and stands still until I get to about 5 feet away and then he'll continue on! It works on leash too but then he is only 6 feet away to begin with
Oh I just thought of another one...I taught him to sit at all street crossings. So now, he won't cross a street until he sits. Even a side road with no traffic. Of course, he is always on leash in those areas anyway but....if he sees concrete, he sits until I say, "OK" and then off we go!

Keep 'em coming, I love hearing them!
