My Chihuahua Mookie Doing Tricks
 

I'm doing the camera work, and my fiance is giving the commands...

bang bang, breakdance and smelly are awesome haha.

that's one smart dog.
how long did it take to get all those tricks down?

now all you need to teach her is get me a beer from the fridge

Vid of fiance?

Breakdance actually kind of just developed serendipitously... I don't know why, but Mookie has never been very good at rolling over... even in the video, you can see she kind of needs something to roll against to flip over. So a lot of the time when we were wanting her to roll over, she would try but not be successful... and end up doing that move instead... so my fiance came up with the term breakdance. :p

My fiance did the vast majority of the training... only trick I take real credit for is her waddling. She already did begging all the time when we feed her underneath the dining table, but one day I decided to hold the food a little bit away from her, and in no time she started trying to waddle over to the food. But for some tricks, my fiance definitely needed to keep at it for a couple days before Mookie started to really understand the command...

Denied! :cool:

That's awesome! How long did it take to train Mookie like that?

Hard to say, you know? It's like a little training here and there... sometimes more focused than others... some tricks only took a few minutes... some maybe a couple hours... thank goodness my fiance has the patience for that. :p

oh my i wish my dog was HALF as good.

Mookie makes my dog look retarded.

^ yeah same here my dog knows

come here - you have to say it in a very very sweet voice otherwise no luck
get out- works everytime id say
and HEY- when she does something i dont like
also if shes licking herself or barking at the door because someones in the hall id just smack my lips and she'll stop kind of works like hey

lol awesome..cute

that dog is amazing! good stuff

wow !! my dog only knows how to sit sometimes (when she's not hyper), shake paw, and roll over >_<

so cute and smart
i wish i have a dog like yours haha

I had no idea chihuaha's had the mental capacity for so many commands.

super cute!

Haha... yeah, the resemblance is there.

Mookie is definitely not a small chihuahua, that's for sure... she tips the scales at about 8 pounds. I guess she's a little overweight, but I'm going to make sure she never gets obese.

props to you fiance, and you got one smart dog there!

taught my dog: down, sit, stay, shake, other hand, roll over, play dead...i wanna teach her how to crawl, but not sure how to...any pointers?

smart dog, but thats alot of calories (treats) putting on a 4mins video show for us. Wish my dog can do half of mookie's tricks

LOL

BANG BANG! was awesome

Your fiance sounds real cute IS :p

Hmm... I think basically we would have her start in the lying down position, and then wave a treat in front of her, and if she gets up, we would say no, but if she stays low and walks, then we would give her the treat...

The treats we give her are actually really tiny... like 5x5x3mm squares. We cut it up ourselves because everything we find in the stores are way too big.

But still, I didn't think she needed to give Mookie a treat for every single trick...

Thanks. :p

I gotta say her playing dead was actually quite good in the video... usually it doesn't look quite that realistic. :D
