Expert TRICK DOG

I was struggling with Amber and the basket ball trick till I saw this trash bin basket at Menards. What a great transition to other disciplines. Soon she'll be an all star player.  My first reaction seeing this in Menards was "who would want that?"  I turned around and looked again not knowing this would work but for under $5 what did I have to loose.

Now she is good at basketball

Not sure which level it is to unroll a yoga mat.

Amber picked up on "paws up" to the shopping cart real fast.

Amber is learning to push a cart. This is an Ekorre child's walker cart from Ikea that I've modified with a soft handlebar. I like the fact that there are screws to tighten the tension without a slick push away and scare Amber from trying it again. It is weighted with a couple of cans of dog food to practice grocery shopping.

"walk the dog" (similar to pull the wagon)
I need to retake this. It's in slow mo. I thought that instead of using her mouth to pull the dog, she needs to just get used to it following so I put it on her collar.

INTERMEDIATE TRICKS

 
Amber is learning to "beg". Also known as "sit pretty". This took a little bit of balancing on her part but the finished product looks really cute.

Play Dead
(she  can do this ..video forthcoming)

Pull a wagon (in the works)

Wave Good Bye (she can do this)

Amber barrel racing (go around)

Amber's barrel racing (AKA "go around") works well with a kitchen trash bin but lately I've upped it to using a walker. There's more possibility for mistakes with a walker as you can see. She will try to take a shortcut. This trick is great interaction for seniors using wheel chairs. She knows it. She just cheats! Notice that frustrated "Grr" on the last one. 🐾

NOVICE

Her first trick was assigned by our beginner obedience instructor in Aug 2018.  We were to spell her name out in biscuits and have her nearby without stealing the mini-bones using the "leave it" command for 10 long seconds.

Amber conquers the wobble board with ease.  Ah, remembering the first time and her fear of the sound.

This was the hardest.  Partly for me because of the dance move.  I really need a shadow dance this more.  This is only a clip of the success after many frustrating attempts and Amber not paying attention.
