The following are some other tricks that you can teach your dog:
Shake
Start by having your dog sit. Say "shake hands," and take the dogs paw with your hand. Hold his paw and say, "Good Dog!" Let go of his paw. Do this a few times every day.
Turn Around
Start by having your dog stand up facing you. Let your dog see a treat in your hand. Stand still and say, "Turn around." Lead the dogs nose around with the treat so he walks in a circle. when he comes back to where he's facing you again say ,"Good dog" and give him a treat.
Crawl
Start by having your dog lay down. Hold a treat just in front of his nose and say, "Crawl." If he starts to stand up, say, "No, down....Crawl. "When your dog moves even an inch or two without standing up, praise him and say, "Good dog! Crawl."
Speak
Choose a game that your dog loves to play, like catch with a ball, or hide and seek with a toy. Then get him excited by saying, "Lets Play!" Want to play?" and show him the ball or toy. Show him the ball until he barks and then say, "Good dog, speak!" Then play the game as his reward for learning "speak."
