Can FIND/locate AND deliver 18(?) objects by name, most are toys. Locating the toy can be the hard part, but, he never gives up nor forgets what he is doing, as he runs from room to room, checks his yard, upstairs, in the toybox, all over, he keeps searching to find "froggy" or whatever.
Can also select any of these 18 items from a line-up. It was even more items, but, some of the toys he knew by name are now destroyed, so I don’t count those now.
If there are any more tricks or cues, I can’t think of them right now, but no doubt, I will think of them after I post this!! …cuz everytime I started to finish, I remembered one more. Lol.
most of these tricks have both hand, foot, etc, signals, as well as verbal cues. Almost none of the verbal cues are
Geez, I feel like a slacker, cuz I have had this dog for years now!! This list should be like, 400 or 500 by now....
