   Wow!!! Thanks for that video. I have always wondered how people train that trick.

   I think I am going to try it with my crew. The saints may be too big, but what the heck, I’ll give it a shot.

   Tricks are an excellent way for you to excercise your dog’s body, expand your dog’s mind and develop a deeper emotional bond with your dog. Dogs are natural workaholics. Most dogs find their Nirvana in movement and play.

   Dogs tricks can be broken into two catagories:easy and impossible. Most of the easy tricks are based on the stationary obedience commands sit, down and stand. For most dogs, tricks that are based on sit are the easiest to accomplish. Almost every owner teaches thier dog to “shake hands, wave good-bye, high five and high ten”. More difficult sit based tricks are to “sit pretty or beg”.

   Fun dog tricks that are based on the down command are roll over, crawl, crawl backward, crawl forwards, play dead and slither like a snake. Tricks based on stand are fun because most of them are in motion. Popular stand tricks are “catch your tail, weave between my legs, jump rope, catch a ball and turn in a circle”.

   Tricks are even more important than obedience if you want my opinion!
