What does your dog know

[riseagainstme]

Hello, I've been a lurker for a couple of weeks now, I thought I'd pop my head in and make a post for the first time. Anyways, I was trying to think of some good easy tricks to teach my dog ruby, so I was wondering... what has your dog mastered? do well? do okay? working on? and tricks you want to learn? Ruby and I have quite a nice start I think, but a long way to go on the fundamentals. Here's my list... thus far:

About my dog:
Ruby
3.5 months old (we've had her for 1 month so far)
Mutt (lab, whippet, border collie, boxer, blue heeler and coonhound!)

Mastered (will do it everytime, anywhere, any distractions, lureless)-
Nothing

Does Well (will do it most times, most anywhere, may be distracted, lureless)-

• Sit
• Lie Down
• No/Utt

Does Okay (will do most times, but not when distracted, lureless but exaggerated hand signals, may not do it on first try)

• Come (high priority to move up to at least 'well')
• Rollover
• High Five
• Touch (her nose to my hand)
• Shake
• Spin (to the right)
• Fetch
• Drop it
• Stay
• Crawl
• Get Down
• Leave it

Working on (Still needs lures/practice)

• (Are you) Shy
• Bow
• Twist (left spin)
• Catch (Frisbee)
• Go potty
• Jump

What we'd like to learn in the near future

• Smile
• Beg
• Hop
• High Step/March
• Heel

Wow, looking at that list it looks like I may be pushing her a bit hard, but she seems to be taking it all in stride.

It sounds like you're doing an excellent job with your puppy! A dog is never to young to learn something, but mastering it with distractions takes quite a while!
Here is Lance's list, he's a 17mo pembroke welsh corgi:

Mastered:
From your definition of any distractions, everytime, I have no idea. We have a lot of proofing to do still. The majority of things he knows in the next category could probabally go here, but I wouldn't be willing to bet my house on it.

Does Well:
Sit
Down
Stay
Come
Swing Finish
Around Finish
Heel
Rollover
Bang
Shake
Give
Touch (my hand and a target)
Loose Leash Walking
Leave It
Go to place (runs and lies down on mat)
Weaving through my legs (walking and figure 8)

Does Ok:
Pose (crosses his front paws)
Stand
Drop on recall
High Five
Spin (clockwise)
Turn (counterclockwise)
Go Outs (around a pole/cone and back to me)
Stand and spins on a bouncy ball

Working on:
Dig it
Wave
Beg
Bow
Crawl
Shy
Away (the go out for utility obedience)
Formal dumbell retrieve
Broad Jump
Tunnel
2 on 2 off (for agility)
Weave Poles (channel method)
Back up
Get your leash
Skateboarding

What we'd still like to learn:
Clean up (after he has a better retrieve)
Stack bowls
All the agility obstacles
Walking on my front feet (if his corgi legs are capable!)

WOW!

just wow, thats a lot of stuff for a dog thats not even 2 years old yet. I thought I was on a good pace, but it looks like I may be behind! :dogwink: Lance must be a very bright pup. Isn't it amazing how much they can learn? You never really realize it until you start to list it out. Congrats!

Well, my most accomplished dog is Mudflap, my Border Collie. She is 4 now, and I adopted her at 3. The first things I worked on were severe food aggression and some minor dog aggression. I am currently working with my other two, a Rottie mix named Rusty and a difficult BC/ACD Zeke. Here's Mud's list, though.

Mastered:
Sit
Down
Stay
Shake(bow paws)
Gimme five(from the sit)

Spin(left and right)
Weave(through my legs with me walking forwards, backwards, sideways, etc)
Back up

On my left
Switch(to my right)
Wait
Get up(on something)
Hut hut, hike! (Paws a football between her back legs with a front paw)
Touch(nose to my open palm)
March
Kennel
Off-leash walk(stays in position, just without the eye contact required for competitive heel)
Crawl
Leave it
Go inside(will go to my front or back door, whichever directed, from as far anywhere--6 feet from the door or 3 miles from the door)
Come
Bang!(rolls onto back)
Jump(over my legs)
Off
Get in the truck

Does okay:
Get my keys
Say your prayers
Bring me a Kleenex
Figure-eight(around my legs)
Jump(through hoops, through my arms)
Over(agility jumps)
Say your prayers(front paws on chair/couch)
Pray a little harder(Say your prayers + bow head)
Bow

Working on:
Dig
Hold
Prey drive control
Commands at longer distances
Left legs up


Want to learn:
Stick 'em up
Pack your bags(crawl in a suitcase)
More toys by name
Touching certain objects
Shy
What does a bear say? (Growl)
What does a wolf say? (Howl)
Lead my horses
Lead other dogs
Go to--
Backwards weave and figure-eight
Walking on hind legs


There's lots more "want-to's," but that's all I'll put for now. ^^ I think that's all the ones she knows...not sure. I've backed off of training new things and put more emphasis on strengthening what she has already. Been adding distractions and that kind of thing.
