Leo over acting--Play Dead

[take4roll10]

Fast forward to 40 seconds... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtEFq2q0HRY

I'm not sure it counts as playing dead--she does a whole lot of flailing I think it's so cute that I don't make her hold it, I laugh every time.

Leo's is perfect!

she doesn't even roll onto her side. she just throws herself on the ground. very cute!

Haha yeah. I mean she does, she just doesn't stay there long! (Her play dead is more like at 43 seconds). Treats faster, please, is her motto!

Both videos are great. How long did it take you to teach Leo?

Awesome, looks like Leo caught on really fast.

Good job Leo!!!

We are just proofing it now in other places and with distractions but at home it's very solid
It took about four days to learn? Just two or three very short sessions, every day.

I am currently teaching Leo a wave, it seems to go well, too... not enough yet to take a video of it, lol

I just taught Nickie this the other day, he got the hang of it right away, but he gets confused between playing dead & roll over (I just taught him that not too long ago) so I'm still working with him

I started to teach Birch to play dead but he decided that he wanted to learn roll over. Still working on the play dead as Birch will not stop his motion. He has more the wounded duck trick going on.

must learn to roll over

bahahah, now I have to teach Leo roll over, so that Birch isn't getting ahead of him!!

He has learned how to wave, and Toffee caught on, I guess he didn't want to sit and just be rewarded for being calm, I guess, lol

Aw, that's nice. Cadbury is still a way off playing dead properly, I have to put him in a down first, but Merlin has started copying him, lol. So much easier when you can teach one dog and the other learns it off them.

Both boys do a 'wave', but I have to be careful with Cadbury because sometimes he just shoots up his paw and holds it out at an angle like a 'Heil Hitler'

hahaha Birch probably thinks rolling over is SO much more fun (I don't blame him either) Until I really started working with Nicky, he could never roll over, he would always get stuck on his side ... I would be like, "You are not even normal"
... but he finally got the roll over, then later on I started teaching him play dead, but he just wanted to keep rolling over Confused shelties.

Leo now also does an enthusiastic roll over, lol... Yep, he overacts that one, too!
I wanted to make sure he can differentiate between the two.. but this week I feel like he's got it:
