lovemesideways Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) So I make videos for youtube sometimes, and just uploaded a new one of my dog Riddick and I messing around and having some fun.

RiverStar-Aura Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 What a lovely smart boy! How did you teach the bow command with that signal? I've almost got Zeus taking a bow but I have to bring my hand under his front legs and draw it back under him. As such he gets it confused with his "drop" signal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemesideways Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 What a lovely smart boy! How did you teach the bow command with that signal? I've almost got Zeus taking a bow but I have to bring my hand under his front legs and draw it back under him. As such he gets it confused with his "drop" signal I taught him like this Then I changed to being in front of him with that sweeping hand motion in front and the word, Then added in my own bow plus same hand signal and word. Then gradually took away the hand signal but kept the bow and word. In a nutshell. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That's a great video!! I started out with Zeus this way but I think I'll start from scratch again as he gets confused with drop. Thanks for posting the link. Riddick is now my fave trick dog to watch!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inka3095 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yaaaay thanks so much for the videos! My foster dog has learned everything I've asked her to do in such a short amount of time I've run out of trick ideas, so these are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esky the husky Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 You should do DWD with him, he looks like a performer :) I love the jump trick how did you teach that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizabella Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 What a clever boy! And he looks very fit too. :) I agree with Esky the husky, he'd be a great dancer! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katdogs Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Lovely! Riddick is a beautiful boy and smart too! I'm inspired to try a few more tricks with Stevie. But how come you aren't slipping in a puddle of drool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemesideways Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 You should do DWD with him, he looks like a performer :) I love the jump trick how did you teach that? I think I wont let the world suffer the horror or seeing me try and do a DWD performance :laugh:. The Jump trick started by just teaching him to jump up on something (a bed in my case), added a word and just transitioned it into leaping straight up. The key is to make sure they don't just land on their hind legs. (Awful for a dog to bounce straight up and land with all their weight on their hind legs! Makes me wince when I see that.) Lovely! Riddick is a beautiful boy and smart too! I'm inspired to try a few more tricks with Stevie. But how come you aren't slipping in a puddle of drool? :laugh: Hes too busy doing stuff to drool!

Esky the husky Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Go on silly costumes and music, what's not to love about dancing! Do it :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katdogs Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 So I tried to do that step-over 'through' with Stevie and fell over :laugh: I forgot she's taller than my legs and would have to crawl through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I'm not male so the number of times hes collided with the wrong spot hasn't been terribly painful :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleo's Corgwyn Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 You ought to see one of the teams who do DWD with us in Canberra - Di & Claude, the Irish Wolfhound! She has to basically do a can-can kick for him to do leg weaves. DWD is great fun, and you'd have an excellent start with those tricks, especially since he obviously has good hind end awareness...

Poppy's mum Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well done - all things I have been trying to teach - well, mostly apart from some of the tricks. You must be a patient teacher! Nice to share your successes. Gorgeous dog too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
