So excited to find this site. I'm a medical doctor an author of Fit As Fido: Follow Your Dog to Better Health, a fun book talking about using your relationship with your dog to improve your health. I have two fabulous soft-coated wheaten terriers, one of whom just started rehearsals for a high school production of Annie. Was working on targeting techniques to get him to independently head onto stage to a designated spot and got some tips on Dogwise's forum, with a suggestions to check out this site. It's been great fun teaching him this new trick - wonderful bonding time and frankly I never imagined he'd actually learn it! Thought it'd be fun once the performance is over to work on some new tricks - that's why I'm here. He's also a hospital therapy dog and his current "trick" everyone likes is that he'll wave on command. Any suggestions for good tricks to try that can be learned by a slightly stubborn terrier?
Also, my website www.FitAsFido.com has a celebrity spotlight where we interview folks about how their dogs have improved their lives. If any of you or your dogs have attained "celebrity status" by doing something others would be interested in hearing about, please let me know so we can add you to our celebrity spotlight!
Thanks and looking forward to finding out about fun tricks I can try with my dogs!:dogsmile:
