Everything is interesting.. To me atleast

Can I ask.. what is tig??? I'm not english, so some words I dont understand

aw thanx belluna ok.... katie- sister will run up to abi tap her and say tig and run off abi then will run after her to tig her back ( ie pair of paws in the back ) then turns and runs off with katie chasing her to tig her. Hope that makes sense

how did u teach him to BOW?

Mine knows Sit, Lay down, stay, High five, drop it, roll over, come, and thats about it. I'm in the process of trying to teach her how to SPEAK and Crawl but she's having some trouble with both. So if anyone has anyone has any advice I would love for you to share it with me!

Crawl can be taught in two ways either by kneeling down and having one leg up to make an arch then using the treat to get her to crawl under the leg this will prevent her from getting up or without the leg just telling her to lie down and moving treat slowly accross the floor just infront of her nose possibly putting your hand lightly over her back end to keep it down if she keeps getting up, its very important to not move the hand with the treat too fast!!!

I have just brought Mary Rays excelent book called 'dog trick fun and games for your clever canine' I would highly recomend it, im both pleased and slightly disapointed that loki already knows a large proportion of the tricks in it as I wont be able to learn as much from it but all the tricks are shown in a very simple easy to follow format illustrated with photos of each step I think you would find it very useful
I think I paid £8 something + p&p from amazon
