Answer 1

well does your dog like squeaky toys if it does then well just do any thing u want like u can make obstacle course and make it do all the things  

Answer 2

Get a dog training book there are alot of neat tricks and having the book is easy access to look it over.

Answer 3

Well, before you start teaching your dog tricks, you need to teach  more of basic obedience commands such as Stay, Come, Down, Down and walking on a leash, so I'm adding a link that will show you how to teach those in easy steps.

After your dog knows the basic commands, then you can move on to   tricks and I'm adding the link for that, too.  It has easy to follow instructions for everything from Shake Hands to Roll Over and my personal favorites ... Quiet and God to Sleep ... lol.  

When training your dog, remember to keep the training sessions short in the beginning and be consistent.  Most of all, have fun :-)

Answer 4

I taught my dog how to do this trick called "Bye Bye"

1) I lay him on his back

2) I flap his front paws up and down...

3) At the same time I say "Bye, Bye"

4) When you think she has had enough than say "Bye, Bye" without moving her paws. (She has to be on her back.)

Try teaching your dog how to do this repeatedly and in no time she will be flapping her paws at you.  

Answer 5

you can train her that when she's hungry, she sits in  her bed. thats what i did with my friend's dog. this is how i trained him:

i get his doggy treat and hold it. when i say "sit" he sits in his bed.when he sits in his bed, i fill up his bowl with food. since i did that a lot, i now know when he's hungry. when he's hungry, he sits and i don't need to even say "sit" i trained him that when he's hungry, he sits in his bed to let me know that he wants food =)

Answer 6

ooh 'shake' thats a good one =]

Answer 7

Well you should really teach her the basics (sit, down, heel, and stay) before moving on to tricks, but one that only requires sit is "Shake".

1. With your dog sitting in front of you, hide a treat in your right hand, low to the ground. Encourage your dog to paw at it, by saying "get it" and "shake". Reward your dog the minute his left paw leaves the ground.

2. Gradually raise the height of your hand, upping the ante, in till he lifting his paw to chest height.

3. Transition to using a hand signal. Stand up and put the treat in your left hand, behind your back, and extend your right hand while cuing "shake". When your dog paws your extended hand, support his paw in the air while you reward him with the treat in your left hand.

4. You can repeat these step in the opposite to teach him to raise the other paw, using the cue "paw".

If dog uses his nose discourage it with a little bop on the nose, not hard but enough that he knows that's not what you want. If he's not raising his paw, tap or barely pick it up and reward him.
