I love to teach tricks because it's fun, stimulating for dogs, and helps them learn what learning is all about. Showing off a new trick is good entertainment for family and friends, and is a way for people to find a connection with your dog. Instead of greeting a guest at the door by jumping up, isn't it better to have a dog sit and give a high five? There are the standard tricks that I have always taught, but once in a while I like to try a new one. 'Cross Your Paws' is a trick that took me a little while to teach Bonnie. Before beginning, I broke it into several steps. As Bonnie became successful with each step, I moved on to the next one. This is a really fun trick. I'm having a good time with it. When Bonnie is bored and looking for around for something to do, all I have to do it let her go through her list of tricks. She gets a treat or two, lots of praise, and big hugs.
