Gage can shake, and roll over.

Lucky can sit, lay down, beg, leave things on command, take things on command, and fetch. I can't get him to roll over. I wish I could teach him that!

Hmm, if these count as tricks Gage can do all of those except beg. He can also be quiet on demand (most of the time), go into his crate, and certain rooms on command and go get his toy if asked.

We taught Gage to roll over by having him lie down and holding onto his collar to keep him on the floor. Then moving a treat over his head in an arc. Since he couldn't stand, he had to roll onto his side, then all the way over to follow the treat.

Right now I'm trying to teach Gage to shake on command. Not shake his paw, but to shake the water out of his fur. We have lots of snow right now, and he shakes some of it off outside, but always saves his final shake for the livingroom, instead of on the porch /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif . Has anyone taught their dog to do this? How?
