Tricks

Whilst I am not the worlds brainiest dog, I do pride myself on being the best that I can be. At everything. I have an array of "party pieces" that I am only too happy to trot out in front of visitors to our house. I don't suffer at all from stage fright, and am able to accomplish all my tricks in their entirety.

  • The Spin - This was my first trick. "Spin Around!", and around I'd go. A pug-pirouette, no less.
  • Drop n Roll - Good to remember if you ever catch fire. I roll over. Simple.
  • BANG - Same as Drop n Roll, but you have the whole drama of having a finger-gun shoved in your face. It's like 'play dead' but with more drama.
  • High 5 - Pretty cool. I stretch up and "High 5" whoever has their hand above my head. Strictly speaking it's a 'High 10', but it doesn't have the same ooomph.
  • Walking - Not sure where this one is going. You could say it's a work in progress. Hand is held out, and I stretch up to 'take' the offered hand and walk (stagger) whilst eying the treat inevitably dangled just out of reach. 
  • Beg - Just as you would imagine. I sit up and paint my most appealing look on my face whenever I see someone eat something. I was taught to 'sit-up' originally, but somehow I have adapted this to suit my own needs of self-fulfillment. Or at least get a nibble of something tasty.
