Crowing
Pitties are just the best, most amazing dogs. They're so eager to please. Makes me miss my old boy so much!It's fun to read what other folks teach their dogs. My previous dogs knew the basics but we never did formal training and they didn't listen well.My current boy, Luc, and I do a class at the training place almost weekly. He's a pittie mix and I knew people would judge him for that so I wanted him to be well behaved in public. Now that we've passed all the obedience stuff we just do fun classes.
Commands he's knows
Sit
Down
Stand
Stay
Wait
Stop (mostly used on walks, stops dead in his tracks)
Place
Come
Let's go (less formal come that let's him have more time with whatever he's distracted with)
Touch
Leave it
Drop it
Watch me
Go Around (go back around the object, just for during walks)
Heel
Side (a heel on my right)
Front (him in front, face to face)
Around (he goes from a heel or front clockwise around me back to a heel)
Back (walking backwards in a heel)
Pivot (not a verbal command but basically, he keeps his front paws in one place as he only moves his back paws while I turn - it's something we learned in rally obedience)
Spin (he spins clockwise)
Twirl (spin counterclockwise)
Away (he goes to a target-work in progress)
Find it (did a formal scent class but now it's a game of find the treats I hid, great for days with nasty weather)
Gentle (mostly used when he gets a bid pushy with the cats or goat kids, he's never hurt them but sometimes gets too excited)
Agility Commands/Obstacles (just for fun in class)
Dog Walk
Over
A-frame
Weave
Tire
Tunnel
Teeter
Around (go to the other side of jump first)
Tricks/Fun things he's learned
Shake
High-Five
Bow
Crawl
Catch
Boop (I point my pointer finger at him and he boops it with his nose)
Tell me a secret (I cup my hand to my ear and he puts his nose to my ear)
Where's your toy? (Refers to a specific raccoon toy that he will go get, has even gone all the way from the barn into the house to get it)
To bed, to bed, to bed (this is actually a command I taught my ducks but Luc has learned to walk with me behind them and help herd them into the coop.)
There's a goat in the barn! (I say this excitedly and about 70% of the time he'll come running and herd the goat back into the stall. The other times he'll just not come or run past the goat and look around the barn.
Bang (for play dead, work in progress)
Skateboard (work in progress but he's stood on it with all four paws and has walked tiny steps with front paws on the board)
Stool (just started yesterday but he got all four paws on a folding step stool and into a sit position)
He knows other words but I wouldn't really call those commands.
he actually DID bite occasionally over much smaller items. So yeah.
