A Yorkie Bichon Can Do Tricks After All
Jack is a pretty smart dog, but I find it hard to teach him tricks because he gets so excited about the potential for a treat that he doesn’t listen. He will basically just start doing all the old tricks that we’ve taught him in the past without even being prompted. Sitting, laying down, Up, paw…all in a spastic sequence. Imagine if humans got that excited about the possibility of getting some candy? LOL that would be hilarious!
In a past post I mentioned I was going to take a video of Jack doing some of his favorite tricks and I finally got around to taking it. My wife Valarie also stars in this short clip so please tell her she looks great! hehe
As you can see he has no idea what roll over means. I’ve been trying to teach him that for months but our little Yorkie Bichon wants nothing to do with it.

How exciting that you are also getting a yorkie bichon! How old is yours? What did you name him? If you ever have any questions, please feel free to ask…. Jack is now three and we have learned so much about dogs and yorkie bichons.
Hey!! I have a yorkie bichon and me and my fiance are so in love with him, he is sooo smart and soo eager to learn like your Jack. I’m trying to get Rocco to sit on his back legs, but he wont stay up for as long as Jack, how do you do it?
Jack does sit up on his back legs, but I honestly dont know how that happened! It was not something we taught him. Maybe you could try proping him up, and then giving him a treat while holding him up like that…to indicate to him that that is what you want him to do?
