Playing dead is one of Hannah's fave tricks.

I started out with teaching her to laydown, you pretty much need that command before you can start the play dead. Then you just gently roll her over on her side saying BANG at the same time, hold her down on her side for a few seconds then tell her she is a good girl and give her a treat. Repeat until you no longer have to roll her and then when you say BANG pointing your finger like a gun she will drop down and play dead. Hannah now stays laying dead untill you tell her to get up. Everyone thinks it cute.

Crawling is also cute and very easy to teach, all you have to do is set up a bench or chairs, something low enough that your dog has to crawl under, you get her to crawl under them several times saying crawl, good girl crawl, and then take the chairs away and ask her to crawl.


Hannah knows many more tricks and when your ready to teach Sadie bigger tricks let us know, delivering the mail always leaves people speachless, playing basket ball is really cute to.

There is a website that explains how to teach tricks, it is somewhere in my favorite file I will post it when I find it
