She actually started offering the behavior so we began putting it on cue (right now it's only on a hand signal cue, not verbal). I think it was sort of accidental. Whenever we'd come home from session with a super high value treat (pieces of yummy steak!), she'd do a sit pretty but then leap up and put her paws on our chest. One time she missed and ended up standing on her back feet and since I was still holding the treat she just kept trying to balance like that. From there it was easy, but it still requires super high value treats! lol
