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

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

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, :rolleyes: so I pulled out the clicker and Voila!

Now just incorporate "play dead" with "bang!" and its automatically 10x cuter!! :D

I want to teach that to Jamie though I've just been too lazy hehe

Awww! Very cute!

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

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!

I've troubles teaching this one.. I think it's because it's so much like "Take a nap".. darn.

Adorable though!! :D

LoL


Thank you :)

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.
