As noted in an earlier post, Tamarack aka Tambo Rambo is a dog of few tricks (One Trick Pony 7/7/21). A very shy dog when we got him from the shelter, we've been trying, with little success, to socialize him as well as teach him new tricks. Since he constantly gives paw until he gets a dog biscuit, Andy's started teaching him to give a second paw at the same time, and I think he's finally gotten it.
While he's figured out how to give both paws, sitting up by himself is still on the horizon. The whole keeping his balance thing hasn't computed yet, so you have to hold him up while he wobbles about. Pretty funny watching him do stupid pet tricks and he sure doesn't mind as long he gets his dog treat. While sled dogs can be pretty independent, often ignoring your commands, their focus is razor sharp when you've got a dog biscuit in hand!
