Could it damage him in any way to walk like this over short distance? Any other ideas for a simple trick I could try? Someone suggested "cover the eyes with paws" - how on earth would you do that??

How about roll over, play dead, give paws or give 5, 10 and 20 (left, then right then both), wave, touch (could be a your hand, a cone, anything you ask him to touch), bow, walk back, spin, leg weave and Toby’s favourite (because he gets applause for it at obedience) is to jump through my legs!

He will also run out to a cone, touch it with his nose and come back to me, will close the door, retrieve Freddy the frog (soft toy) from a pile of other toys and speaks on command. I'm running out of things to teach him! Buffy on the other hand will give her paw, she's far too busy to be learning tricks :lol: Tracy
