I decided to make this thread to see if anyone else's dog had a trick that the dog made up themselves. One day I was playing soccer with patrick and Zeus went chasing after it and pushing it around. He could probably push it around all day if he wanted to!!

Let me know if you can't view the video. I say, "Sock it, Zeus" and he takes off after it, growling.

Caesar lies down on his side when I want to clean his paws. I never taught him that, but one day he just started doing it! We'll come inside and I'll grab a paper towel, and he'll do a little circle then lie down flat on his side. It makes paw cleaning much easier! I think it's great! :D

Gracie has a little kid sand bucket out in the back yard and she will take her balls and put them in it..she has been doing that since she was about 3 months old..we never showed her how. We thought the first time she did it it was a fluke but she has done it since..however many rubber balls she has out she will put in the bucket..it is a lot of work for her..she has to get the bucket set up just right but she always figures it out..and it is a hoot to watch

I can't view the video :(

Jasper didn't really pick up any tricks himself, but I sometimes use things that he does normally(yawning..etc) and make them into tricks ;)

Merlin has begun to catch his partially deflated basketball with his front paws when we throw it to him.

One of the things Kiara taught herself was to wait until I said "okay" to eat her food.

Whenever I put her food bowl down for breakfast/dinner, she just stands there and stares at it until I say okay. If I walk out of the room and I haven't said okay, she'll just follow me. The second I do say okay though, that food is demolished. ;)

I saw the video - he's really cute zooming around!

Star catches treats. I can toss them up in the air and she leaps up and gets them everytime! It's great when we go places with lots of little kids - I let them toss her treats- it's quite a show! We never really taught her, she just started catching them.
Sherman walks backwards on his hind legs in front of me when I carry out the food bowl - I've never seen another husky do that - it's cool!
