    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

What are some tricks your dogs know?

Zeus knows how to hi 5 with each paw. If I hold up my left hand he will hi 5 with his right, and if I put up my right had he will do it with his left and we can repeat that a good 10 times before he gets bored haha. He also knows "get your toy" whatever toy he last played with "come for a cuddle" I spread my arms out and he will come squeeze between my hands and body and press his face/torso against me. A bit lame I know but very cute

Good luck! Just whatever you do, don't teach "speak" unless you want them barking at you whenever they're trying to figure out what it is you want them to do, lol.

I learned this the hard way! lol it's just a little too late..

As for Nova she knows basics then she knows Roll Over and Speak and when you say "hug" She jumps up with both paws and if you're low enough she puts them over your shoulders! Sometimes you may fall back! lol

We teach the usual tricks, but they all seem learn how to open the doors on gates on their own. Which is pretty humorous when a guest uses the bathroom. You'll hear the door knob thump followed by someone yelling "Get out of here"!!!

Great video, haha. My Luther knows his basic obedience "tricks", but he also learned to OPEN DOORS on his own. Must be a CC thing. :D

If you point your finger(like a gun) and say 'bang!' our dog will drop to the ground and lay there on his back!
