I don't know how to teach play dead but the Fila Brasileiros nextdoor know it. It's adorable

I don't think it will be hard to teach lucas play dead.....he lays on his back a lot so I just have to get him to associate the word

 

[poeluvr]

you also have to get him to be still too, and be still for a few seconds

No problem.....He just lays there and looks at me when I tell him to move....so there ya go LOL

how about crossing arms? Like they're laying down, you say your desired command, they cross their arms. Kind of like a sign of respect =)

o wel that will work ...lol

lol i forgot they were so big! i geuss that would be kind of funny to watch actually!
Anyway, play dead isn't very hard, just takes alot of practice. You can also teach "say your prayers" where they stand up against something with their head between their paws.

Yes I would like to teach Teddy how to play dead that would be very cute. he already knows the head down command when he is lying down and i say head down he has to put his chin on the floor lol. I guess i could go from there lol.

That's a good one too! Lucas does that alot when just resting, but chloe barely does it, but it would still be a cute trick!

Now instead of not having a trick to teach I have too many good ones that I can't decide between and need to figure out which one to teach first! LOL

I think Lucas I will try play dead cause he is doing Awesome on heel and Chloe I'm working on bow, but I think she'll get that soon......thanks everyone for all the tricks!

Bahahah. yeah! We don't give them enough credit than they deserve. I just gave him his last tasty treat, and he looks at me with this ginormous smile on his face <-- almost like that! Lol. Now he's satisfied and sleeping. Ahhh, i love our pets.

LOLOL! That's cute! Well I'm glad he got what he wanted...LOL

haha I taught teddy how to bow today It's not perfect yet I still have to put the treat near the floor but he is getting it lol I don't have to put the treat right ON the floor anymore. The only problem I had while teaching him this trick was i would give the command and hold the treat between his feet so he would start to bow down but then his bum kept going down lol I just had to react much quicker than I had been lol I basically had to just give him the treat while his front end was on the way down haha but its looking good now
