Kaige to be in an audition for a commercial. Ideas needed!

I taught Ki to wave derived from her "high five", I'd just hold my hand farther away than I would for a five and moved it like I was waving at her.

That sounds good, maybe I can get Kaige to give high five, then move it to a wave.

Maybe I'll try to teach him a few new tricks and see what ones he does best. Maybe they can let me addition him with multiple tricks instead of just one? I hope so.

Does he know bow? That's another one that always woos people and it's pretty easy to teach.

Yup, he does know that one. I forgot about it. I haven't made him do it in a couple weeks but he should remember, or remember with only a little training. lol

How about having him hold a leash in his mouth (while it's attached to his collar)? Or better yet, maybe hold the leash while waving? It'll look like he's asking for a walk.

No ideas here. Just want to wish ya lots of luck!!

well he remembers how to bow but did forget how to do it when I give him the command from a distance. We will work on that one.

The wave thing isn't going very good, at least not yet. He seems to be very confused I think because it is so similar to shake.

I started to teach him how to hold objects in his mouth. Its going pretty good so far.... except for food anyways, he is the biggest pig ever. lol He just wants to gobble everything right up.

Just coming here to wish you good luck! I don't have any ideas, sorry...

Kaige is not doing so hot at learning tricks. He learns commands fast but takes his time with tricks apparently. lol
It seems as if he's in too much of a hurry, he gets them half a**ed.

He is a HUGE food hog and I think thats part of his problem. He knows he won't get a treat unless he gets it right but he still seems to be in too much of a hurry to get that treat.
I've tried using his toys as a reward but then he's not as interested and takes his sweet old time. I can use toys for rewards as long as the action is fast paced & involves more of a walking/running type movement like healing, jumping etc...

Slowly but surely we are working on it.

We may just be there mainly for the looks & obedience commands. lol
