Almost reaching the age of 3 months old.
First and easiest trick, Sit. why ? because he always sit without fail. Well not really sit but he drops his bottom and sits there. so didn't take too long to learn that.
second, lay down. This was a tad bit trickier for him as he did have this tendency of chasing my hand with treats. Finally he got the idea and voila.
third, move from down to a sit position. Easy, just put the treat over his nose and slowly move upwards. Learnt it somewhat, but need practise
forth, stand. Not sure if he got the idea, but when it comes to standing he will get up, BUT moves towards the treat. credits for the attempt but will need to teach him to just stand and not move. He's doing a lot of trial an error till he gets his treat.
Trying to find a clicker as should be easier to teach him with that. Still no luck. Shipping cost for one is about 10times more than the item itself
When it's feeding time, I try to get him to practise all the tricks before feeding him. But now he's so used to it, he's doing every one of them before I even ask. Smart kid, but nope, sorry he'll have to wait for the commands. He sits, he goes down, jumps back to a sit position, then stands. Basic routine but breaking it now.
one habit he seemed to have learnt is playing on his urinepads. I used them for him when he's being doggy-sit. One pad covers his whole crate. So I'm guessing he's used to sitting on it, playing etc. Which I'm trying to break that habit now as it's not that hygenic. Even if the urine is absorbed it's still a little moist sometimes.
