When I taught Kiara bow, I'd hold her bottom up and gently push her front half down while saying "BOW, GOOD GIRL!" and then let her hold her tennis ball (best training tool for Kiara.) Then she got the hang of it and did it on her own and I made an even bigger deal about it.


"Bang Bang" was easy as well. I'd roll them over and say "Bang, bang!" and then praise her in that position.

Kiara's "Are you shy?" is a little different than the norm. She does it while on her back. It was the only way I could get her paws infront of her face.
At first i'd say "SHY" and then put her paws on her face. Once she got the hang of that I added the "Are you shy?" part.
