My super energetic dog has kennel cough and can't go to doggy day care or the dog park for another 5 days at least. I need something to wear him out a little so teaching him new tricks seems like the best choice (since the other option is going for a ten mile walk in 35 degree weather.)
He can do a handful of tricks already: roll over, dance, wipe your paws, high five, go to bed, shake, hide and seek/find it, the shell game, climb and the usual helpful commands.
We have tried teaching him to "beg" or do a circle and I think beg is uncomfortable for him and as soon as you have a treat in your hand he sits so getting him to stand up and chase the treat doesn't work (and I suppose I don't really want it to!)
What other fun things can I teach him? Suggestions on how to do it?
