Hello. I have two dogs, Storm, a six year old female Siberian Husky and Jackal, an almost ten week old male Beagle/Fiest mix. I have owned Storm since she was a ten week old puppy. She has been a great dog. My only complaints would be that I did not socialize her enough as a puppy and she is a bit of a handful with company and also that she cannot be trusted off leash due to the nomadic Siberian Husky nature. Other than that (oh! and the hair!) I love her.
Storm has been clicker trained and knows sit, stay, come, down, wait, high five, paw (high five with her other paw), bow, turn around (only knows it to her right), go inside, go upstairs, drop it, leave it, sit up, go under the bed (where she grew up sleeping, it was her den), out (leave the room), settle (wonderful command for nail clipping), off (for when we let her on the couch and also a way to control her jumping on people), go lay down, get a drink (for when we are on bike rides or walks; she has her own collapsible bowl), hurry up (basically means go potty) and one of her most recent tricks is to shake her head to the question "Are you a psycho?". She will shake her head to other questions if the setting is right. I need to teach her a hand signal for it, but haven't yet. I think those are all of the commands and tricks she knows. There are probably other day to day commands, but those are all I can think of right now.
I got Jackal a couple of weeks ago because my fiance and I wanted a squirrel dog. I have done a little bit of clicker training with him, but not much yet due to a hectic work schedule and potty training has been a bit of a challenge with him, even though he is crate trained. I plan to teach him the same tricks as Storm plus many more if he proves to be eager to learn.
I guess that is probably more of an introduction than anyone would actually want to read, :doglaugh:.
