It would be interesting to see all the different approaches from both the dog and human. I'm not sure that we'd be able to find a trick that no one has trained yet. Some of the dogs on here have quite a large trick vocabulary.

A "sniffing" trick for dogs who do that.... With a goal to get lots of folks to participate. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

David Winners Webboard User Reg: 07-03-2009 Posts: 705 Loc: Bryan, Ohio Offline	Anything sounds fun to me. Part of the challenge will be thinking of a behavior I haven't already trained, but that is what makes it exciting for me. It will force me to examine our lives together and see what I can add something useful / fun for us.

If they wanted to, if say they had a new dog and a more marker fluent dog. The idea is to make the contest so that everybody can participate in it no matter what level of training fluency they and their dog are at.
