We're also working on a number of others. I think I might be missing one or two, but those are the ones I can think of. I feel so far behind compared to Squeeker and Libby, lol!

[Squeeker]

Oooh, yah, upstairs/downstairs, in/out, and go to place ("spot" for us). Knew I forgot some!

Love the picking dandelions, btw!

I might steal some from your list, lol!(:

For sure! And check out the "trick of the month" threads!

[GottaLuvMutts]

stay
come
spin

go get (object)
She also knows the words dinner, breakfast, water, ball, Frisbee and bath.

We've been working on "give", but I hadn't thought to give it a different name than "drop". Thanks Squeeker!

Where do you guys get the the time to teach your dogs' so many tricks?
Apart from the basic commands, I've taught Blizzard so few tricks that I'd be embarassed to mention it here

Thanks... it's one of the random tricks I thought up during one of those times when I had way too much free time I also have one about imitating a fish on a line I want to try...

[Noel]

Wow! Your dogs know a lot of tricks! That goes for everyone!

When I come home at lunch time to let her out of the crate, we never have time for physical exercise. But mental exercise also prevents crate boredom, so we do a 5 or 10 minute clicker session before she goes back in.

Wanted to add "go potty" to the list. How could I forget the most important one?

[hulkamaniac]

Brutus knows:

Grub (go to food bowl)
Crate (go in crate to look for food bowl)
Eat
Cruise (jump on counter)
Trash (tip the trash can)
Fart (self-explanatory)
Howl (for when he's in the crate)
Trail (for when he finds the scent of a trash can in the naborhood)
Pull (for when we're walking)
Poop (always executed at the wrong time)
Ignore (for when I yell at him for anything else)

I figured I'd just put his normal behaviors on cue so I could feel good about myself.

[Noel]

Nice. Noel also knows
"Squirrel Chase".
That is where she chases a squirrel until it runs up a tree or something.
I do not command her to do that.
Lol.

[GottaLuvMutts]

LOL, that was a good laugh, Hulk. In that case, Kit knows

Grass (eat it)
Wild animal (convince friends that I don't exercise my dog)
Push (knock over small child and steal donut)
Squirrel (chase)
Orbit (run in circles at top speed)

In all seriousness, I read on the clicker training website that you can put even the behaviors you don't like on cue. Then you just fade the frequency at which you give the cue. I dunno if it works - sounds pretty suspect to me. Anybody ever have success with this?

Go to bed

Working on:
Focus
Heel
Speak

We work on a little something every night or so. Instead of just feeding Libby her dinner, we use it as training rewards. It has worked great! Gives us some bonding and training time, gives her some mental stimulation, and also helps her tummy because she gobbles her food so friggin' fast otherwise!

[Bird-Dog]

Been meaning to make a list...almost all have both a vocal command AND hand signal.

Sit
Down
Head - put head on the floor while in down
Watch Me
Stay
Wait - don't move forward but you can move in place
Auto-Sit - while walking
With Me - while walking, return to my side (heel position) and sit
Come
Inside/Outside
Up/Off
Quiet
Settle - chill out!
Go to Bed - crate
Okay - release
Drop It
Tug
Roll Over (in process)
Cuddle - permission to sit in my lap
Let's Go - start walking
Leave It
Go Play - okay to take off like crazy
Back
Touch

[Noel]

I have to work on teaching Noel some new tricks. Good thing she is not an old dog!
Eh...cheesy joke.

[Squeeker]

Bird-Dog: thanks for reminding me! Touch and Head Down!
