alright...welll my family and I have tought Mugsy how to come, sit, lay, speak, and jump...well now i want to teach him to roll over! buttt...i just cant seem to get him to do it!
Have any of you tought your pup how to roll over..help me! I need a good easy fun way to teach him to do it! Post up!!!!
Well, I just grabbed a handful of cheerios in an attempt to teach Tuffy that roll over trick... He absolutely, flat out, refuses to roll over.
We had a similar problem in puppy school that he refused to lay on his side. So I don't think this trick is happening for us.. Oh well! Let us know how it works for Mugsy!
parker wont roll over..the whole hand rolling thing makes him nervous..i do it very slow so it wouldnt scare him , but it does...so i gave up on that one...but he knows sit, down, head down, sit up, and giveme a five. i dont know if he is capable to learn any more. he was the hardest dog i have ever trained. guess hes not as smart, but i love him to death! maybe u can pick up some pointers from this guy!:
I taught Brinkley roll over very similiar to the way Dr. Cathy described...I made him lay down and then did the "o" motion close to his side/shoulder...he caught on too, but will only do it for a treat. He is like Toby, you have to calm him down first
. Now he rolls over all the time and looks at me with this goofy panting smile...I know he wants me to go get him a treat...(so I usually do...)
thats why i hate using treats...cuz then they're dependent on them. LOL. with mine---i would start making them do 2 tricks...then 4 tricks...then 5 tricks till they got a treat. lol. now they'll do anything even if i dont have a treat. BUT they still try to attack dogs while on leash----still working on that. LOL.
I wonder if we should all try to update on here every day or every few days on how we are all doing so that we know everyone is ok. I know we must all be stressed and worried about Covid 19. It's so scary listening to the news every day. I have a hard time not crying every time I hear about...
How old are our babies when they are “technically“ considered adults? I know Kobe is not yet. He’s not even an adolescent yet. I don’t think. Lol 😆 Just thinking about when it will be that I will stop giving him puppy food and start giving him big boy food.
So we are going to be traveling to our vacation home in a month or two, depending on Covid conditions and I am curious about how this will work with my new companion. I don’t think Kobe will mind the travel because we have been trying to get home used to going out in the car a lot in his crate...
It’s kind of a funny story.
I had always wanted a little girl so I could keep her with longer hair and put bows and dress her up and stuff but my Kobe was a surprise anniversary gift from my husband. We’ve always talked about getting a dog but 27 years into our marriage we still had none. Year...
CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS!
