i love how holly is in the background just watching for part of this video. if i tried to train one of my dogs with my other dog in the room they would both try to do the same thing lol!

@Hmenzi222 I have a video "how to train a dog while another dog stays back" you might find it helpful :) it takes a bit of time but it's worth it in the end as it can be very difficult when they all want to join in! hehe!

umm..first thank you soo much for posting this

and....I have a really big german shepherd..and when he is placing his front paw on my knww he is putting so much wieght in it..we are stuck..if i dont support his weight si is not doing it anymore....:(

do...you have any tips that may help? pleasee? xoxo

P.S my dog loves you:)

@thewhitewingedwolf you could try asking your dog to target a wall rather than your leg? first place the books by a wall and then you can put something narrower by the wall and finally just the wall, you could look at my handstand video and apply the same tips but for the side legs rather than the back ones. let me know how you get on. give your dog a hug from me :)

I think this is such a neat trick I plan on teaching my pup this but can I ask you what you say to cue your dog to do it. I'm not good at naming tricks. :)

[zsianz1]

oh my cue isn't very good!! I say 'both' but a good tip for new cues is to use a thesaurus for more ideas :-)

I think I am going to try this but without the clicker as I do not have one. My 3 already know a good few tricks and seem to enjoy the work I may be able to do it with toys for some reasons with treats one of the dog gets too excited to do anything other then sit stay and lay down shes still knew to the pack.

Nice job! Great trick for people you don't like lol :)

What is your verbal cue for this trick? I am running out of ideas with all of our tricks!!! Sometimes I will forget, but fortunately I remember the body signals! haha

[EtherealOhitoyoshi]

I have taught my neighbor's dog to jump on its hind legs (all by myself with hotdog XD)
