Dahlia learns her first "trick"

[crysania4]

So far all I've really taught Dahlia are the standard obedience things, the really important ones: like sit, down, stay, wait, and come. But I'm always jealous of people's dogs who knows silly tricks. So last night I decided to start teaching Dahlia to give me her paw on cue. And already she's doing it. She's still in that offer up the behavior all the time in the hopes of getting a treat, but she's also doing it on command. It's adorable and I'm so thrilled she learned it that fast.

Now I just have to figure out what else I can teach her.

I haven't bothered to teach Dahlia any tricks. I feel so behind. LOL I can't do speak/sing. She never makes noise! She's the quietest dog I've ever met. Even a knock at the door doesn't bring out a bark. The only thing that brings out a bark or two is frustration over not getting to greet another dog or an ATV flying by.

I want to teach the paw over the nose thing and put it to the command of "Dahlia, what do you think of Cesar?" LOL
