This is my dog Adenine, a German Shorthaired Pointer, doing some basic tricks. In order, the tricks are: sit, wave, spin, back up, lay down, go to bed, and get the towel. He is about 10 months old in this video. I'm trying to think of more tricks to teach him. So far I'm considering teaching him to shake his body (as if he were wet) and to limp. If you have any other ideas, please leave them in the comments!

  • Cute! My dad's getting me a German shorthair when he gets back from Afghanistan. I can't wait!

  • @animalwhisperers93 It is a great breed. Just make sure you give him/her plenty of exercise/playtime and he will be the best companion!

  • this is just greate but how to do we teach him how to bring the towel and to go to bed

  • @shatrazandatraz For go to bed I would reward him whenever he went to his bed and just added the command over time. For get the towel, I would use an old rag and play with him and say get the towel whenever he grabbed it. After a while I put it on the towel holder and had him grab it from there. I got him to retrieve it to me by having him chase me at first, and then after many repetitions he would just come to me. Basically you should just make training into a game for the dog.

  • how do u do it i have a german short hair its 1 year old and she dosent listin at all and its so strong and i could never get her to come back 2 me and dont listen

  • @rye388 It just takes patience and consistency. Always stay positive and turn the training into a game. Don't get disappointed when the dog doesn't get it immediately, just keep working and make sure you and the dog are having fun. You should check out zakgeorge21's channel for more dog training tips. Hope this helps and good luck!

  • I think i have a short haired pointer but im not sure lol. he has black and white spots (definently not a dalmation,haha) and kind of looks like this one (:

  • Great Dog

    

  • lol basic you said?

  • that was awsome....now go to bed.

  • Aww, GSPs are so clever. Mine is the first dog I've ever been able to train to speak, roll over, play dead (with a dramatic spin before layin down) and pick things up. She does similar thing with the towel and it is such a god send when your doing laundry and drop a sock or whatever cuz she'll pick it up and pass it to me.
