Pumpkin's Tricks: The Steady Nose Trick

While many people spend hundreds of dollars having their dogs professionally trained, Pumpkin learned all of her tricks off of a $2.50 package of sandwich ham and a few Arby's Roast Beef sandwiches. When we took her to the vet for her puppy shots at 3 months old, he and his staff were shocked when we told her to sit and she obeyed. He was then surprised to see her other tricks. Most of the dog training books we read said not to even start training puppies until they are 4 months old. I guess it just goes to show that brown Labs are the smartest dogs out there. I know that without Pumpkin's help with homework, I would have never passed my statics class at BYU.

While her repertoire has not changed much since then, I think you'll still be impressed to watch her perform her tricks, in Spanish, English and American Sign Language, in the following three videos. Sit..................... Stay.................... Enjoy!
