RAVING is Barking about: Fun tricks!

I am jumping straight to the topic.
Tricks. Nothing more satisfying to have your dog perform a trick you have taught.

Trevor knows a grand total of 7 tricks.
Gets a little boring after a while for him, so much so that when he sees you with tricks, he will perform all 7 tricks at once to get that treat. It is insanely hilarious, but I see where this is going. ...

So this week, we are covering the topic of your dog's Education! And I will be starting off with the fun bit.

Sit, Roll over, playing dead, dancing on hind legs, "say please", hand shake and stay..... Basics.
Anywhere on the net you will find guides, pictures and ideas on what you  can train your pooch. There are even step by step guides on how you should go about teaching your dog.

But, nothing will beat videos. I think going online , especially on Youtube, you will find a good number of tricks very worthy of teaching to your pet. And when you do so, you will see the effort and patience put in by the owners. It is very admirable.

For that, I strongly recommend this one.
Whisky from Singapore! The owner had 3 miniature Schnauzers  and Whisky is the leader of the pack.. The owner is now into synchronized tricks with all her dogs at once, which is even more difficult than with just one dog.

The owner's documentation of her work is also very commendable.
Just watch the videos she has online and you will know what I mean.


Liking the speed? And the variety of tricks you have seen? Admirable. 
If you do like his video, check out other videos by the owner as well and you will be amazed at the work she has done and the effort to all her three dogs. 

Inspired me to do more with my Trevor.
