In just a 5-10 minute training session I taught my dog the basics of "shake"!
My command for it is "paw"

Of course, it's not perfect, but he caught on a lot faster than I was expecting!

Today I also started teaching him "center", which is when he sits/stands/lays between my legs so that he takes up less space, and as grounding for me.
Something that I'll eventually want to train that adds on to that is having him watch my back and alert me if someone is approaching behind me

Ooh yes I have this with Chase!! Me and pampstie fondly named it “tween”. Just watch out… once you reach it it haunts you Chase is CONSTANTLY getting between my legs. When I’m in the middle of trying to put pants on, when I’m bending over to grab something (smashes into my face of course), and randomly on our walks.

Im sure these water birds like playing catch-me-if-you-can with Hodge. He's only allowed to chase them when I give permission.

i use the command middle for center. They love to randomly do the trick after you teach it.

And then i use watch my six for the command to watch my back. Tucker is the only one i taught it to but Denver was watching and just started doing it.

I'm glad you both like 'center', but I could see this happening at awkward times, and I'd crash and burn if one of my dogs did this at the wrong time!
