Afternoon hikes are the best, when nobody else is around.
- Hurry up! (potty)... thank goodness her amazing breeder trained her for this by 7 weeks when we took her home.
- Sit
- Down (lay down)
- Come (run to me)
- Stay
- Okay! (means she is released from the position)
- Stand (from laying down)
- Up (jump up to stand on your knee)
- Up-up-up (stand on hind legs)
- Off (get off the couch/bed, or back up)
- Ah-ah-ah (firmly said, means no/stop)
- Go get Ryan!
- High five... works best on her back.
- Shake (handshake)... she still tries to eat your hand though
- Go get it / get it (fetch)... she will usually wait to chase until you give the command.
- Drop it (drop toy for fetch)
- Be cute (lays chin on knee)... learning that one was sort of an accident.
- C'mon/Come on (come with me)... distinct from a firm "Come", this was also an accident.
- Leave it (ignore it)... well, we're still working on this one.
- She walks off leash without chasing wildlife (she stops automatically after about 5 steps without needing a command)
- And finally, she is also tolerant of grooming, which is a big one considering that ear plucking and scary nail grinding are involved.
What other skills should I teach Stormy?
