Basim, I am 13 too and Nikki is my first dog, too. I am not insulting anyone at all. Sit and down and stay, etc. are MAJOR ACOMPLISMENTS. They are more needed in your dogs life than tricks. Tricks are cute and funny. Training aids like sit could save your dogs life. It is REALLY good if you taught your dog these important skills without aid. I know because I taught Nikki all by myself, too. No one should take my comment offensively!
