• Well, I didn't think it was possible, but... cairnterriers Posted : 1/5/2007 6:31:41 PM I TOUGHT RILEY TO SIT UP! I don't know how he learned it so fast.  I swear, he learned it in 10 minutes.  I'm not exaggerating, either!  It looks like this: LIKE 19 REPLIES 225 VIEWS LAST POST KSAGS411 Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Mikaela Ritter Posted : 1/5/2007 8:04:54 PM Hehe, I think some dogs have a certain knack for it and some just..don't []  Cairo learned this almost instantly (to be honest I forgot how we taught it to him, it was that long ago!) and does it so naturally.  He does it all the time.  I tried teaching it to Nikki but her body shape doesn't quite fit it.  She can get the concept and she tries so hard...but she can't figure out what to do with her front legs!  Usually she sticks 'em way up in the air which looks pretty silly.  Half the time she ends up falling backwards onto her back! This is what Nikki's beg looks like: 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Pwca Posted : 1/5/2007 8:38:42 PM Indy took 4+ years to learn it, but now is very good at it.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 1/5/2007 10:48:16 PM Max learned that in puppy school.  The instructor had me hold the treat over his head more toward the back and say "sit pretty" and I guess when their heads go back the front feet come up.

• Kara Posted : 1/5/2007 11:06:30 PM I think terrier/shaped bodies learn this trick better. I have never seen Sam in anything like  a beg, and I don't think he can/will. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 1/5/2007 11:14:55 PM It's soooo cute, isn't it? I taught Emma to sit up a couple of years ago, and now she does it ALL THE TIME. I just love it. She's adorable[] She sits up on my lap, and sits up when she wants treats. She also sits up when waitresses approach. It's a cute trick. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lisa baker Posted : 1/6/2007 8:58:10 AM Rocky is my brother's dog who knows so many tricks.  Rocky does sit up which is cute, but my favorite trick is after he plays dead...lays on side all flat...my brother will say road kill and rocky will roll over on his back and ut all four paws up in the air.  I laugh every time I see Rocky do this     0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Cita Posted : 1/6/2007 12:38:07 PM Congrats - so cute! I never got my Sheltie to do a good beg - she tried, but kept falling over, poor girl. I think a lot has to do with the dog's balance/conformation. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jones Posted : 1/6/2007 12:41:09 PM That pic of Nikki is so cute!   Maybe it's true that terriers are better at that trick... I have tried it so many times with Russell, using a lure - he just backs up. If I try it with a wall behind him he just moves to the side.

• Mikaela Ritter Posted : 1/6/2007 1:23:39 PM I think short legged dogs are good at it too...their lack of legs probably helps them balance [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Caryl Peters Posted : 1/6/2007 6:24:45 PM I tried to teach Bronx that but his butt was just to round and he kept falling over...
