Hi Jacki,
Did I ever tell you about the tricks/commands King knows?
Here’s a few of them:
- Sit
- Down
- Heel
- Stay
- Leave it
- Drop it
- Kennel Up
- Visit (if someone wants to pet him, he will greet them)
- Find it (hide a treat and make him look for it)
- Shake
- Go potty
- High Five
- Rollover
- Jump
- Up (this is for getting onto raised areas or cars)
- Whisper (he makes a little whimper)
- Speak (1 Bark)
- “Bon Jour” (2 Barks)
- “Ce La Vie” (3 Barks)
- “Merci Beacoup” (4 barks)
- Paws Up (He’ll stand on a object – bench, counter, cardoor, your arm)
- Through (go between your legs)
He also knows words like “doggie”, “kitty”, “squirrel”, “bird/birdie”, “mommy”
And he rings sleigh bells (we hung by the door) to let us know he needs to potty.
Here are a few he is working on:
- Stand
- Growl (”mean dog”)
- Smile
- Bow
- Spin
- Shame (cover his head when laying down)
