What tricks have you taught your staffy to do?

well done

my sit and stay and they give you their paws

that about it

I read about a good trick. Playing hide and seek with your dog. You can build it up to a point where u can tell the dog which member of the family to find.
Would love the dog to do that, will be great fun in the summer hiding in the woods with your dog finding all the members of the family.

well we are basic training at the moment,so the basics really.
she does this awesome howling/speaking when she is happy to see me,obviously I didnt teach her it but its well cute

I give her all commands without speaking,just hand signals.pretty kool

good one on your training.

You too. I thought it would of been boring for the dog but he loves doing tricks, the whole time his tail is going mad.
Or that could just be cos he knows he's getting some food and the tail is wagging like mad cos he's getting cheesed off having to act like a circus clown just to get a tiny bit of it

blue is so lovely.

i taught mine to sit,stay, lie down ,rollover ,fetch and retrieve, and give the paw that's about it

Nice one shane.
Forgot Blue does fetch.....not so keen on the giving it back part yet. He has this look in his eye that says your not getting it back cos all you do is throw it again and I have to go and bloody get it.

hahahaha

Cairo does sit,stay,wait,shakes hands,high 5,lie down.

Same as kia lol

errm my Ellie will sit,lay,go nd lie down[thats a good one],paw,high five,leave ,drop,and roll over if im lucky .my leo is a bit more hard work ,he'll sits,lie,go an lay down,have to work on it

Sit, lie, stay, paw, other paw, gimme ten, balance food on nose, bark, walk backwards, come, heel, fetch, up, down, roll over, open the cupboard door, sing. Probably a few more I can't remember.

Bailey will sit, stay, lie down, roll over, both paws, high 5 (my left hand his left paw, my right hand his right paw), up, come, walk nicely (nearly!!) and I think that's it haha !

Bode will .
sit
lay down
roll over
high 5
drop (something from her mouth)
leave (treats thrown on the floor, or anything else)
come (most of the time lol)
stay, is getting there, but you can see she is too excited, so want stay for long before running up to me lol

think thats about it

Sit
Stay
Lay down
Paw paw (both paws)
Stan knows speak.
Hooch will high 5
Hooch can balance a treat on his nose
Drop
Leave
When hooch decides too lay down half way running back i tell stan too go get the ball he knows what i mean.

Cant think of any more for now.

Forgot about this post.
Taught Blue a few since this.
Spin
Give me both paws
Place an object and drop it in my hand
Sit in front of me run around me then sit back down
He can now also speak and unlike me according to the Mrs he can also shut up!

Oh yeah and he knows leave it!
The treat on the nose sounds like a good one....just tried to teach him that.
Hand closed in front of him and treat inbetween my finger and thumb in front of him he got straight away then I put my closed hand above his nose and he looked away so i clicked and dropped the trest on the floor. The stage before putting the treat on his nose is to hold it inbetween your finger and thumb above his nose and treat when he looks away........hmmm yeah he goes to look away and just before you go to click and reward he quickly whips his tongue out and has a snaeaky quick lick of the treat

Blue kept the treat on his nose today for a second
He's gonna master this one quicker than I thought

Not a chance with Till, she does what she wants when she wants to with the exception of fairly good recall, wee wee and walks pretty well on the lead, and high five , she's a tryer though bless her

sit , stay, lie down, wait, high 5 , shake paw and we have just taught him speak and now we are in training him to speak by hand command only

Sit
Stay
Down (lie down on tummy)
Show me your tummy (roll over)
High 5 (right and left)
High 10!
Crawl
She'll close doors if I hold a treat above the handle
Speak

Want to teach play dead and the hide and seek thing sounds so cute!!

We taught ours "tap box" simple...tap the box to get the treat!

Tilly's learnt the best girl trick in the world ...
If you sit there and look cute enough you will get whatever you want from daddy ( she learnt it off my daughter )

I find that one works for me too, but it's Rocky looking his Mummy

"sit" (with an upright finger), "stay" (open palm, and only if theres a treat involved), "here" (her callback, with a finger pointing next to me) and my favorite, "gentle" with any treat/tidbit of food. she doesnt snatch, but very gently and carefully takes it from your palm, fingers, or if i'm showing off i hold the treat in my lips

Charlie can sit, sit -stay, lie down, lie down - stay, give his paws, high five, high ten, roll over and spin. Gonna teach hide next where they put their paw over their eyes. That one is proving tougher than the others which he picked up ridiculously quickly and easily.

neka does high 5 !
front paws on my knees i say cuddle she tucks her head under my arm pit !
she sits on the couch (when i let her ) back on cushion flat on her butt watching the footy !
i say awe my fat barrel and she lies flat out for rub on belly lol !

I have taught Brick to touch a ball at the end of a stick with his nose, that was for dog training assignment, to spin in a circle, sit, drop, leave it I can put a lamb shank down and ask him to leave it and he will not touch it till I say so. The word gentle which means don't snatch the food from my hand. To walk backwards,

Bunsen can do:
Sit
Lie down
Roll over
STICK EM UP!
Play dead
Spin
Stay
Leave it
High five
Gimmie Ten
Guess which hand (treat is hidden in one)

And I'm teaching him to close the living room door behind him. A biggie but I have faith in him!

Oh...and fetch and drop it!

Well after months of refusing to teach Ty any tricks besides his training and agility commands, I relented. He can now high 5 with both left and right paws, spin in each direction and walk backwards

Sit, stay, come, drop it/leave it (hit and miss, needs more practice), recall, paw...that's it. That's right, he doesn't yet know how to lie down he just will never lie down for me to teach him it.

Once he's better on the basics, I'll be teaching him the army crawl, to lick his nose on command, and any other cute/useful stuff I can think of

Oh, how do you teach your dog to play dead? That's a good one

Skye
Sit
Down
Paw paws
High 5
High 10
Roll over
Stay
Find kids
Leave
Back up

Buster is a bit harder
Sit

Although going out the front door turned into a trick

After we'd taught Bunsen lie down, then roll over I adapted play dead from roll over. This may not be the best way but it still worked so when he was in his roll over I'd try and say 'stay' when he was completely on his back. Then when he did that I added the clicker, then slowly started to add the command then I added my fingers being a gun pointing at him! (or the last two might have been the other way around)

as much as he hates doing the tricks i cant help but laugh when hes told to roll over or play dead he barks and does a moan almost like a sigh and it as if he sayin dam not this again just gimme the god dam treat lol but i have taught him to
roll over
play dead
to give his left paw right paw
high five either one
sit and stay
and speak
gona try to teach him the tap box and close doors next he can nearly open doors so closing them shouldnt be to muc of a problem

Been trying to teach mine to go to work and earn a buck. So far, nada.

Dempey's taught himself a new trick. There's a slate sign hanging on the front of his crate which says 'English Bull Terrier Lives Here". He's worked out that if he hits it with his nose it makes a clanging noise against the bars. At some time somebody must have given him a treat after he did this, so now he hits the sign & stares up at his treat box!

It's amazing how quickly they'll figure something out if there's a treat involved

Dempsey with his 'food bell'....

Aww Dempsy you clever lad

come, sit, down, speak, stay, wait, leave, no, off, play hide and seek with 2 of my kids (know 2 names).

Lola knows sit, down, stand, roll over, sit stay, down-stay, stand-stay, touch (touches my hands with her nose), close (walks closly by my legs), emergencie downs (will go down on comand from a distance), spin, paw, wait, finish behind, finish to the left.. Think thats all & Mia only knows sit & down at the moment she's only 8 weeks

Percy has learnt
Sit
Down
Crawl
Stand
Paw/other paw
High 5 (both paws)
Roll over (80% there)
Watch me
Talk
Stay
Wait (for the treat on the floor etc)
Through (legs with a sit finish)
He sits at every road on and off lead, not really a trick but still clever

Makes me laugh when we're practising, if I take to long to give the next command, he will run through as many moves as he can think of to try and guess what I'm about to say

not taught but found out he can break 2 laptops in 48 hrs

A good one to get your dog thinking if they will sit and stay in front of you is three cups and put a treat under one then mix them up and say "find the treat"

Storm can sit, give paw ask for the other paw and he changes paws, lie down, high five and roll over. Tried getting him to play dead but unless he wants a belly rub he keeps on just rolling over
