Okay the first question is what tricks does your dog(s) know?
Wiggles doesn't do tricks...lol Wiggles doesn't do anything...
Piddle only does Sit(when he wants ), touch( just learned it whoever said you can't teach an older dog tricks didn't try!) and spin!
Jasper does Sit, give paw, give other paw, high five, high five(other paw), touch, spin, lay down, stay, stand, and just learned "are you shy?"

Fun Tricks!!
Okay this part is some tricks you could work on with your dogs if you'd like them to learn any of them, they are very cute!! They are explained in 2 ways, clicker training or without a clicker.
If you try some of these tricks and have questions/problems let me know, and also if you get some of them right, let me know
Also if you know other/better/easier ways to teach any of the tricks, you can post your way
Are you shy?/Hide: This is when your dog covers it's eyes with it's paws.
Teaching it: To teach "Are you shy?" or "Hide", there are a few ways to do this, the first way is with a spray bottle(not how I did it) but with this way you spray a light mist over your dogs face/eyes and when your dog rubs it's eyes with it's paws click/praise and give treat, after your dog has it, then add the command, start saying "Are you shy?" or "Hide" before spraying the water.
**OR** instead of using a spray bottle you can just lightly blow on your dogs face/ears(this is how I taught it), same instructions as above, except without a spray bottle.
Shake: Your dog will shake it's head, as in disagreement.
Teaching it: To teach shake, use the same as above, either a spray bottle, or blowing, and click/praise and reward when your dog shakes it's head, and after it has it, add the command "shake".
Wave: Your dog will wave hello/goodbye.
Teaching it: Before you teach "Wave" your dog must know "paw". Ask your dog to "sit" and then ask to "give paw". Instead of reaching for your dog's paw, move your hand away and lift higher, your dog should try and put his paw up to your hand, then move your hand away and click/praise when your dog lifts it's paw up. After your dog has it, keep doing it but add the command "Wave" or "Hello/Goodbye".
Bow: Your dog will bow down, it's a pretty easy trick, but is always very impressing!
Teaching it: Start by getting some treats, have your dog "stand" while you kneel next to him, take the treat and put it to your dogs nose, then put it down between your dogs two front paws, hopefully your dog will look down and try to get the treat, then move the treat back slightly, away from him. If your dog walks forward instead, say "no" or "ah-ah" and try again. There are other ways to teach bow, but I don't like them as much, but let me know if you'd like other ways.
There are a few more I know, I will post them another time. I hope you all try these Have fun!!!!
