any tips on fetching beer? i would love to teach him that i have teased my husband i would but if i actually got him doing my husband would flip

I've seen this done! A friend of mine taught his dog to do this!

You put a dish towel on the handle of the fridge & teach him to open it by pulling on the towel. Then when he does that part to your satisfaction - teach him to get the beer gently in his mouth and bring it to you.

Couple of problems - 1) obviously, teaching a dog to open the fridge can be trouble when he decides to help himself to leftovers. 2) use aluminum, not glass beer bottles.

My friend discovered what he'd done when the dog decided that the leftover meatloaf sounded better than his kibble one night while he was out. A German Shepherd with the runs trapped in the house was a mess to clean up!

Teach him to dance!!! I loooove watching dogs dance it's so amazingly cute and funny. I wouldn't begin to know how to train him to do this but basically he'd be on his back legs just kinda moving around from foot to foot with his front paws in the air. My mom's LITTLE dog does this and it's so funny. I think it'd be so amazing to see a larger breed dog dance.

you know that might be easy to teach him actually he already knows "pretty" which is sitting up almost like that i would just need to move the way i need him to. i am sure i can do that one thanks!
i am going to try teaching the get daddy a beer one too. i dont have to worry about him getting into other foods in the fridge...the beer fridge has nothing in it but beer (its one of those little fridges)

My son enjoys watching "Pet Star" on Animal Planet, so sometimes I watch the show with him. It's really amazing, the tricks people will teach their pets when they are motivated by winning money and being on TV. One segment showed guinea pigs performing tricks. I have a pair of guinea pigs and never thought to teach them tricks. The dog tricks on the show are pretty entertaining, too.
