ToastFaceKillah: Dec 25, 2010; every day could be your last
in the jungle

Anyone have a good idea of what super logical trick I can teach a dog named spock using the "live long and prosper" hand signal? I've already taught him to play dead when I point at him and say "bang bang", and he's super trainable, he knows all the normal sit/stay type of commands. I just think it would be hilariously geeky to do something with this.

Maybe a "beg" command? My dog looks rigid and awkward in a Spockish sort of way when she does it. Plus she even puts her one paw up in greeting.

Live long and prosper.

I can try to explain how to teach it if you're interested. Not all dogs can pull off a beg since it takes core strength, but most can build it up.

That would be great. I taught him the bang bang trick rather quickly, but he's a fan of belly rubs, and treats WITH belly rubs? Heck yes, he'll do that.
