    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.

    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.

    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

    Hmmm...when are the auditions again (well, der, I guess I can look on the first page ) The judges won't be able to resist him, hes such a hunk And I'm sure they'll be impressed no matter what you do with him, hes so young still and such a smartie.

    What have you been trying to teach him? I know that Jack is extremely food motivated and out of the three (holding something, bowing or waving) getting him to hold something was the easiest. There isn't really a way that he can rush it, it might teach him a little patience too But Jack is the same way, if I try to use a toy as a reward only he will not try very hard and is very lazy about everything but as soon as I get some food..poof..whole different dog, lol. Good luck to you and Kaige and make sure you let us know how the auditions go!!

    Good luck, Kaige, we know you can do it! I think bow would be very cute.

    Will he work for praise? Adele gets very distracted by food too and sometimes (if she's in a fun mood) she works better for lots & lots of praise.

    The auditions are this Sat, 1/28.

    I hope his cuteness wins them over. lol He would do great if they need him to sit/down/stay etc... any obedience command he knows well.

    I have been trying to teach him (not all at once though)
    bow from a distance (he knows how to do it if I am right there)
    wave (he knows shake but isn't getting the wave part)
    holding items in his mouth (he holds them for a while but will often drop them before I tell him to)


    Will he work for praise?
    Yes he will but the results are the same as if I use a toy for rewards. It really only works if it is for a fast paced action.



    I know a lot of this will get better as he matures & gets neutered. He is trying but gets distracted easily sometimes, other times his attention span is just not that long and sometimes he is just way too excited.
    I think his behavior is probably "about" normal for his breed/age.

    We are not giving up though.
