Kaige learned a new trick...

[lv4dogs]

rollover. After 3, 5-10 minute sessions he knows how to rollover! Well he knew how to after the 2nd or 3rd time I showed him how but I still had to be sitting on the ground, now he really knows it, I can be standing or what ever.
I tried, I really did to get some pics of him rolling over but he's so fast, I either ended up with just his butt or head or the before & after pic. So this will have to do until I get some better shots. (I didn't want to push it by making him do 20 more rollovers. lol)

Here he is right before a roll over:

And right after:

good job kaige!

What a smart pup!


How did you train him to roll over? Did you direct him with a treat until he went over?

Pretty much. I had him lay down with most of his weight leaning into one side or the other (like his first pic. where he is leaning towards the right), then with one hand I held a treat and slowly moved it up & around him, like in a circle then at the same time with the other hand I gently pushed his feet up in the air then I gently pushed his body over too while saying "roll over" at the same time. (holy run on sentance lol)

Good boy..I have not been able to teach SammyJ that, sigh..I will keep trying..lol..

Good job Kaige! Does he have a certain direction that he rolls over on every time? Its weird, Kyra has always rolled to the left and Jack to the right, I was just wondering what the little man is...I have also tried to get action shots...it doesn't work out so well. Anyway, Kaige is so cute, look at that face of concentration

Hmm, we will have to get you a video camera. Just kidding. Good job Kaige, I could tell from those sharp eyes that you were going to be a quick learner.

[finn's mom]

Good job! He's so cute!

[jesse_3]

Congrats Kaige! That is so awesome, he is a quick learner! When you were talking about picking out an Aussie, I didn't really ever know anything about them..I decided to research, and I KNOW that I am going to get one!-someday!
Anyways, Kaige, you are just too adorable!-

Yay for Kaige! Such a smart boy!
I need to try that with mine.

[cyber-sibes]

Wow, look at the concentration on that cute little face! He is one smart puppy - good boy!

[K9karen]

Ok, I admit it..there's something about Kaige that makes my heart flutter!. I just melt when I look into his eyes! What a little smartie-pants too!!!

[petslover]

Yay for you and Kaige!

Aw, he's so darned cute! I love that little pup My older two boys tried to teach Bijou to roll over (we thought it would be fun if they had a "job" to teach Bijou some tricks over the summer). They say she's learned to do it, but I have never, ever seen it happen, lol! Maybe she only does it for her boys

Currently, we're trying to teach Bijou the "wait for your cookie!" trick by placing a small treat on her nose -- but her nose is long and skinny and Bijou isn't the most patient girl in the world, so it's taking a bit of time to get this trick down! What will be Kaige's next new trick?
