Last winter I taught Ginger to bow in the kitchen. It took her awhile to learn that she could bow on cue in the living room as well!

I have to say ur mom made me laugh...reminded me of my mom - she always seems to try to talk to me while I'm trying to make a video or teaching the ponies something....I always have to remind her that video picks up what she SAYS. :-)<br><br>Anyway..I love the trick...just might have to teach my dachshund this one...although he's so low to the ground anyway it might not be very noticeable. What are u using as the marker? Just curious why you don't use the traditional click? I love it!

Love the video. I especially love Ginger's focus. She wasn't in the least distracted by the other person in the kitchen. <br><br>I appreciate the reminder about not adding cues until the behavior is offered at a high rate. I'm my teaching Tuvok the down using the lure. I faded the food ages ago, and only use the hand signal. I toyed with the idea of adding the verbal cue yesterday, but decided to hold off until I get a faster response with the hand signal (he circles first before lying down most of the time). what an enthusiastic dog.
