WHAT TRICKS HAS YOUR PUGGY LEARNED?
Pugs are such intelligent, sensitive little clowns that I was curious what tricks your pug(s) know. Mr. Foo knows how to:
sit on command
stay on command
come on command
lay down on command
For his tricks, I give him the sit command and then follow with the command for the trick, so it would go like this...
Saying Prayers:
sit
down
pray (that means stay in the down position, head completely down on the floor, until the next command is given)
AMEN! (that means he can sit up and claim his treat)
Give Me Your Hand (aka: Shake)
sit
give me your hand (I point at his paw and he lifts it shake, then he puts it down)
other (I point to the other paw, he lifts it and we shake, the he puts it down and claims his treat)
POW! (aka: Dead Dog)
sit
POW! (My trigger hand points as I command " Pow" and he immediately drops to the down position, waiting to be given his treat and to return to sit position)
Dancing With The Stars
sit
Dance with the stars! (I hold treat overhead, he raises on to hind legs and gives a turn, then down on all fours to claim his treat)
Give Kisses
sit
give kisses (Do I really need to explain this one? LOL)
Circus Pup
sit
stay
(I walk to other end of the room with a hula hoop in hand, hold it about 5-6 inches above the ground, holding my treat hand behind the hoop to lure him through)
come (Mr. Foo runs to and jumps through the hoop, then stands waiting for his treat
These are all of the tricks he does successfully 99% of the time. He is currently in the process of learning to roll over. He doesn't like to roll on to his back, but the last couple of days he has bee performing it with less resistence. I expect he will have this one down within the next week or two as long I work him on it.
Please share with me the tricks your pug does. If they are different from mine, please try to describe how you teach it. Mr. Foo and I are always looking for new challenges. : )

He sounds like a little clown! How cute!
Lily will pretty much do anything for food, even a little crumb!
She knows sit, stay, lay down, roll over (she only rolls over in one direction, no matter how hard we try she just won't roll the other way!)
She knows "sit pretty" she sits all the way down on her bottom with her front paws up like she's begging.
She can "dance" - she just spins in a circle on her hind legs
She can "leave it" - it's really cute, you can put a treat on her or right in front of her and tell her leave it and she just stares at it waiting for the word "okay" to snap for it!
She knows how to walk on her hind legs. She can say "I love you" (well kind of - I posted a short video, she tries)
She knows "Get 'em" she will run to the door and bark and come back for a treat.
She can do a "high five" and a "shake" as well
I am going to have to try the hoop trick with her, that is great! They seem to be really good learners, or easily pursuaded by food maybe, but I love doing tricks with her, it's so much fun.
I enjoyed reading about Mr. Foo's tricks, you should post some video's of him doing some!

Wow, Lily's a pretty talented gal. : ) I wish Mr. Foo would learn to speak, but the only time he makes noise is if he thinks there is an intruder, hears another dog or whimpers when he wants something and isn't getting it. I think maybe I'll try the sit pretty again. I've tried it a couple of times, but he kind of looks at me like I've lost my mind.
I should try to catch some video with my camera, or my daughters. I keep forgetting that they can take some video, granted, no sound and very short.

My pug Spudz will respond to wait on command and come to heel. He has since we got him hit a dinner gong with his paw when he want's out to pee. He also sits in the front basket of my cycle wearing doggles and a wee helmet we got made for him.
