Annette and Kippah - RE: tricks for class

Stop - drop - and roll. Kids love it because it is what they are taught in school. Each skill has to be taught separately and then chained together

"Who do you love" - love being the cue for the behavior. Teach Kippah to tap your foot or nudge your leg.

Wave bye-bye - taught the same as "high 5" just don't make contact and slowly increase your physical distance. I used one of my dogs as a demo dog in classes, at the end of the demo before I would put him back in his crate, I would have him wave bye-bye to the class.

"What happens in a tornado"-same skill as spin-tornado being the cue for the behavior.

Or use any behavior that your dog does naturally. A friend of mine had a dog that would flip her head up and to the side, my friend taught her to do it on cue to "fix your hair".

All of these skills are basic and pretty easy to train in a short period of time.

Have fun and good for you for going to classes and always keep it fun.
