Mine know all the commands like sit, lay, paw, other one, speak (minus Tigger who refuses to speak), stay, seek which is where I put them in a stay and hide, then scream seek, which kind of gives my location away, but we also play where I have my husband keep them in or out while I hide where they aren't. They know the difference between where's the ball, where's the toy, where's the stuffed animal. Up, off, roll over, jump, probably more that aren't coming to mind now. I talk to my dogs constantly. Who's that, which makes them look around on alert to see who may be around.

They can jump through a hula hoop, Tigger can turn a laser level on and shoot it around to chase. He can 'be a horse' where he snorts and gallops around bucking, lol Spar, which makes the dogs play chase and spar. Give kisses. I should really write all this stuff down and organize it to keep better track and to get ideas to think of more stuff to teach. I have such a bad memory Sorry this is jumbled here, I'm jogging my memory

Jenny, I want to train my dogs to find keys too. I was originally going to scent train them for it by coating a berry scent on articles, but then I just thought of an easier way. What about getting a small stuffed animal type key ring and tossing it around for the dog calling it by a specific name for a while? Like keyring. Before you put the keys on it, throw it around for the dog and say get the key ring for a week or two. Then after a while start hiding it and say get the key ring. I know my dogs will go looking for their ball, toy, rope, bone, etc. when I say. What do you think? I may try this. You inspired the idea out of me, thanks!!! This is getting long so I better end it here, lol

I'm impressed guys. I'm obviously going wrong somewhere. I'm sure Olive knows more commands than she lets on. However, she definately has mastered "Where's your kong". She also is pretty good at "talk", however we're now working on "quiet". :smt102 . Thing is I'm left to do all the training as Kevin insists that his time with Olive should be quality cuddle time :smt017 .

I would love to be able to play games like hide and seek, but Olive gets herself in a right state when we hide from her - howling the house down, so we generally avoid stuff like that . She is great at games where she has to search for food though - and has a great memory for where we left things.

Luca can do a great 'counter surfing' trick

Star is good at that too. She can also open dog proof bins and eats plants that deter cats and dogs

Liberty can do most of the basics..when she's in the mood, and will 'smile' on command too

Bree has decided at her age, she'll do exactly as she pleases now
