mydogMilton Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 How many tricks are out there? Could you throw some at me? Also, when trick training how long can you go before a BC loses interest or stops trying to concentrate. I'd love to teach my highly intelligent BC to pick up his toys and carry things to other members of the family... any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 If you do a search there are lots of lists of tricks that can be taught in another post on the board My Lab/GSD/BC mix knows... Come Sit Down Stay Roll Over Die (I say bang and he drops on his side) shake high five high ten sit up dance wave bye bye hold a treat on his nose, and catch it from there go get certain toys by name, only some of them though Hmm.. I swear he knows more.. but I cant think of it... My new BC pup, in only 3 weeks! ;D knows.. sit down stay wait(for doors, gates and play) long ditance down Come (but I am changing that to "Here") shake high five rollover die Those are some standard ones. Check out the Skidboot Post int eh general disscussion. That dog knew TONS of tricks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urge to herd Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 mydog, There's a great trick book that saved our sanity the first winter we had Samantha. We got her at age 2 in April, and the following winter was an El Nino, it rained hard for nearly 90 days in a row. Trick training got us through it! The book is Idiot's Guide to Fun and Tricks with Your Dog, by Sarah Hodgson. Since I was brand new to border collies, and hadn't had a young, active dog in about 16 yrs at that point, I needed the help. I still drag it out every now and then to get a refresher. Good luck!
