Athena is a super fast learner and gets bored quickly. Once she learns a new command I convert them to hand signals only. This wasn't the best video I took because I had to say her name a few times, but Thor is sooo cuteThat's the only trick he knows!
And if you really care I took a video of teaching her 'other paw' for the first time. It literally took her the length of this video to learn it, 1 minute and 20 seconds. I never realized how quick she learns till I saw the time on the video! I've received a few messages on youtube to put more videos of Athena doing tricks/learning etc so I finally did it!
I just taught her high five and shake a few weeks ago, so those are her favorite tricks right now (she gets treats for new tricks).
Part 1 learning the trick.
Part 2, doing the trick. I think it goes without saying, but I'm not a professional dog trainer. I'm sure someone has a critique, this is what works for Athena and I.
