    Trick Challenge #5

    Hey everyone! Welcome to Challenge #5! You can find Challenge #4 here.

    For the Fourth trick challenge, come at the suggestion of sheltieluver. THANKS! We will be teaching peak-a-boo: which is basically covering their eyes. Here's an example.
    An example of how to teach it. Here

    Each fortnight, I will assign a new trick so you and your pup get two weeks to learn it. You're encouraged to post photos or videos of your pup doing the trick or how far you've progressed. If you need help, feel free to ask in the thread. I'll be happy to help and if I can't, I'm sure other members can.

    Good luck! Have fun!

    If you have any suggestion for tricks send them over! I feel like this should be more fun tricks, rather then just commands.

    Also, Sorry this is a week late! I got super busy with a work project, plus life I haven't had anytime to hop on here.

    haha we have a different peek a boo but this particular trick is one I want to try for soon for Penny's intermiate dog trick title.

    This week we have been working on "roll over" which is finally coming along. As well as "paws on my arm" (then finish with "say your prayer eventually") and figure eights around my legs. Once one or two of them are solid enough we'll add in the peek-a-boo as above (hide your eyes).

    We've given up on roll over. We tried for like 3-4 months but for some reason she doesn't get. Which means I'm clearly doing something wrong. I like that prayer one! I'm adding it to my never ending list of things to work on with her.

    They aren't experts yet but I have them offering the behavior and occasionally they will offer it without the tape on their nose.

    I can get her to sort of paw at it if i put the tape right above her nose. I haven't been able to get to understand what she's supposed to do.

    side note: we're about to get really good at tricks because we're entering 4 weeks of house arrest starting tonight. yay for second and final heat!
