Great video! Droopy is such a cool hound, and obviously very talented too.

What tricks can your hound do?

Toby can 'pester the living daylights' out of me if I am eating something that he wants.

He can wreck the house i.e. knock things over, pull everything off the coffee table, pull covers off the couch if his dinner is 5minutes late being served.

He can go to the door and whine as if he needs out to toilet only to run back and take my seat as I get up to open said door.

He can turn 'stone deaf' at the drop of a hat. I could go on forever............

Droopy is one clever little hound. I loved his roll over. I can't imagine mine ever doing anything like that. A question. If there was no food involved do you think Droopy would still obey your commands? Brilliant video BTW

His tricks are so cute...love the 'play dead' one!

Bowser can turn around, shake, and...only if there's food...sit! I've been trying to teach him to hold a treat on his nose, but he is just like "mama, what are you doing, that is not where that goes" *lol*

Gwenny can sit, lay down,sit-stay, dance, rollover, off and paw. I put food on the floor and make her wait until I tell her "go". Thats about it, pretty basic. Droopy is gorgeous and looks adorable doing tricks!

He is on a variable schedule of reinforcement. I did reward him heavily in the video, but I do not keep food in my hands. Food is in a bait bag or in my pocket or on the counter or somewhere else. He normally just gets rewarded for the best or quickest response to a cue. When he is in an obedience trial he has to work consistently for about 10 minutes without any food being present anywhere in the ring.

Ella can sit, stay, shake, lay, and rollover and then we kind of have a play dead but she doesn't always do it. We put our hand as a gun and make a gun noise and she'll lay down but a lot of the time she ends of rolling over too lol! She is also on a tie out outside and it will get wrapped around the tree and if I say 'Go Around' she will go around the tree to get unwrapped...but that only works if she goes the right way around tree!

Ringo knows sit, stay, shake, and speak.

Neither of them will do anything without treats or if the leash is out they will so they can go on a walk.

Lightning can sit, stay (for a while), and bite the heads off dandelions on command.
