[Chip's Mom]

Barbara: This is a little off thread but ........

Chip loves to learn tricks and he is so smart, he learns quickly. I am in the process of teaching him belly up. I tell him dead dog and he flops down on his side (tail wagging and a big grin) anyway, now I will tell him belly up and he rolls on his back a little lopsided sometimes but belly up. This is so cute but my obedience instructor commented on it last night and said it was hard for some dogs to do. Is this something I should stop trying to teach Chip? I am not trying to dominate him and we are just playing and he is having as much fun as I am. Your comments on this thread made me wonder if I am doing wrong with him. I don't believe in alot of Cesar Milan's methods either so I agree with your post.
