Gingerella B. Lane - Grand Rapids, Michigan
Standard Poodle, Apricot, 24" tall
Owned by Donna Batdorff, 616 240 4253 dbatdorff@aol.com
Trick catalog includes:
*Shake
*High FIve
*Hug and kiss
*Play Patty Cake
*Guess which hand the treat is in
*Reads - looking at cards with words sit, sit pretty and shake on them and doing the commands correctly without a verbal cue
*Picking things up and putting them in something (trash in a basket, etc.)
picking up a ring and putting it on a cone
*"take a bow" which is a stretch
*Bringing a tissue when I sneeze (this is so well taught that if she's sitting by the front door and I sneeze in the kitchen she'll come running. I have to drop a napkin on the floor so she has something to give me.) This has to be set up with a tissue box nearby and where she can reach it.
*She will sit on the sofa next to me and put her paw on my shoulder
*She shakes with strangers when she meets them if they reach down to pet her without being prompted.
*When she fetches a ball she returns it and puts it in my hand
*She has a "hold" so can sit and hold an item in her mouth
*Of course she has a stay (except in agility when all bets are off)
*She is calm and patient, happy to sit and wait
*Will bark on command, but not otherwise unless excited about something
She is a natural poser, and will wear clothing, and hold still for photographs
