Any puppy trick ideas

[animalover]

I have a border collie puppy who`s only 4 months and her name is Lacey. I`m now struck on what tricks to teach her since i want to start her with some training when she`s a puppy. If anyone has any ideas on some tricks that i could train her and how i could do so then feel free to reply to this thread or pm me

hm well as far as how to teach them I'm not of a whole lot of help.

My friend taught her dog a few cool ones as well as the basics. So sit, stay, lay down, shake a paw, bow....really there are tons of cool things you can teach them to do.

My dog does a trick called "yoga" he sits up all straight and give you his paw, we also thought him a trick where he will jump multiple times in him two back legs.

Hi! Ohmygosh. I have a border collie/Australian shephard mix and her name is Callie! I love her so much. They are very smart dogs. We got her from a shelter when she was about 8 months old. She would nip at my heels when I run in my back yard. I guess she was trying to round me up lol. My dog will sit, sit up, clap (yes clap lol), turn around, shake with left and right paws, high five and wait for me to say its ok to get a treat I place beside her. They are really smart dogs and want to please. But they are also high energy dogs who need lots of exercise. Good luck with training your dog Lacey! I bet she is beautiful!

Teach it to shake hands

[OMFG!You'reActuallySmart!]

Why not first teach it basic things like sit, down, stay, heel, leave it and come?

Anyway, as for tricks, between my dogs they know crawl (crawl on the floor to you, very easy to teach), high-five (lies on back and hits his paw to your hand), roll over, leave it, up (onto hind legs, can be hard for certain dogs more than others especially if you want to sustain it briefly) and bow (standing on all four paws then leans front 2 out while putting head down then props back up). My other dog could count when you go to wipe his paws and say "paw 1" he gives you the left front, "paw 2" gives right front and so forth. Simple version of this is just the basic "give paw" command which both know. Both of them sort of know "find [name of person]" and "bed", where they sometimes go to bed. I tried teaching "bang, you're dead!" where the dog flops down then rolls on back but they weren't that great at doing it.

Lastly, not sure if this would count as a trick or not, but they could spell. The way it worked is whenever myself or my parents said "walk" or "walkies", the dogs would get all excited even if we weren't referring to walking them. So we started saying it as "w-a-l-k" and sounding out each letter. The first dog was able to do this for a few commands actually, the second one I'm still trying to get him to know it but it's not going that well.

Teach her to play dead! It's an adorable trick. lol Also sit pretty/beg (whatever you wanna call it) which is when the dog sits up on their hind legs.

I have a Border collie mix ^^

My dogs can do:

sit pretty
dance
shake
hit the fist
high five
down
sit
stay
heel
play dead
roll over
patty cake
speak
beg
I am probably missing some

but I love teaching dogs new tricks.

You should get your puppy to high five!

[Nostalgia]

paw is always a good one, our puppy (bruno) knows paw, high five, sit, he also knows how to play hide and seek. teaching them to go threw hoops could be fun!

Somehow, and I have no idea how.
But, I've taught my dog to crawl backwards on her belly.
Its soooo funny
But, start with the simple things like paw
