 | |  | | I picked up a small hoola-hoop at a dollar store so I could teach Holly Belle to jump through it. Also new, my boyfriend balances one of Holly's toys on the top of his head, and when he says OK, she jumps on his lap, stands tall and picks the toy off his head. Along with the normal tricks she knows "go get it" "find it" "bring it" "leave it" and "drop it." If she brings me a toy and I don't feel like bending down to pick it up, I will keep telling her "Bring it!" and put my hand out - she will pick up the toy and place it into my hand. BF hides her toys under his arm, in a pocket, between his knees, behind him on the sofa, etc. etc. and we say "find it" which she loves. We like to play hide and seek with her, on our knees in the living room and hallway. We use "jump up" and "jump down" while out on walks to get her to jump up on flower beds, rocks, benches, etc. for more exercise, since she has non-stop energy. AND, she can do most of these things in English and Spanish. She LOVES to hear "Mira! Ardilla!" instead of plain old "Look! Squirrel!" Have fun!  |  |  | |  |

First she learned shake and then when i brought out treats she automatically put her paw out waiting for my hand. Since i clicker train i caught that action and it became wave and then form wave and shake it was really easy to teach high five because its basically shake with my hand up instead of flat. She caught on really quick with those three commands
