    Play Dead.

    I just introduced this to him yesterday. He's already picking up on it. I think it's hilarious to watch because he just kinda throws himself on his side.

    I have two videos, each is only like 5 seconds long.

    First one

    Thats the more dramatic one (Its a lot funnier seeing it in person because you can hear the "THUD" when he throws himself down, Lol)

    Second one

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3VPlZi87Nk

    This one is funny because at the end he just lays there "dead" while I turn the camera off.

    He still needs some work on it but he's picking it up pretty quick!

    It was completely random how I started teaching him this. We were outside playing and I decided to do a little obedience. I was telling him to lay down and he kept being a brat and laying on his side, so I pulled out the clicker and Voila!

    I was thinking about that earlier! I'll see if I can't fit that in somehow.

    It was surprisingly easy to teach. I always thought that play dead would be so hard to teach a dog but Travis got it right away!

    Aww he's so cute. That's what Benji does as well. If I don't say good boy or anything for a while he eventually pops his head up wondering when he's going to get his treat.

    What a smart boy!

    Thank you

    He is such a joy to train. He catches on so quick and is always eager to please.
