This video is for Sue. I would like to take her "challenge" to teach Sizzle to nod, unfortunately I started it wrong in the first place. I used the word "naughty" as a cue for "shake" his head (for NO). I didn't realised that is such a bad word when I was teaching him to shake. No dog would like to be called a "naughty boy" especially a sensitive sheltie, so poor little Sizzle took it very hard. Everytime when I sitting him down and about to ask him for something, he looks pretty miserable, so I am not going to teach him any trick for a little while, hopefully he will forget about the "bad experience" and forgive his bad mummy.
Since Sizzle was the first one I experiment on teaching shaking (and nodding later) and I have learned to pick a cue carefully now. I have Saturn doing this tricks using a better cue (do you think so?).
I've promised Sue, I will get Sizzle to do the nod in a couple of weeks time but for now, please have this:

What a fab trick!
Oh, poor Daddy! Saturn doesn't love you :) :) Josh is momma's boy, too. But he can't nod his head just yet.
That was great - it made me laugh.
I wonder will Colin have "his dogs" make a similar video? I bet his dogs would still nod when asked if they love their mommy.
That's so cute!!!!! But we do feel bad for daddy.....
