Guys!!! These are sooo great!! I gotta go train!! LOL! We too are working on the crawl... I had hoped to have him pushing an egg with his nose as he crawls BUT that might have been a bit too optimistic - time will tell!
I'm going to go ahead and create the thread where we will be posting our FINAL videos!
Good luck all.
Remember, if you want to contribute to the prize package to send Connie and me a PM.

FWIW, when I've taught crawl I've started out from a down and encouraged the dog to inch forward from that position...
see I tried that first...but got break dancing (he laid down on his side and sort of spun around in a circle) I will be using that at some point but in this case I can't think of a way to use it in a fully developed trick. The thing is I KNOW he can crawl....but I don't feel comfortable letting him kill rabbits to do it (he'll crawl on his belly right down under woodpiles to get them) and live prey is the only thing he'll do that to. If it's his frisbee (highest value reward) he'll just dig....
The traditional method of teaching the crawl has usually been to sit, have the dog down, and then lure him underneath your bent leg so he cannot stand up or move side to side.

We have to start over with something else too. I was obviously too ambitious with my first desired trick for the video - I thought I could teach him to miniature golf (which would have just been roll the ball into the practice putting cup that was decorated with a mini windmill). But he got so excited about the trick being with an actual ball (his favorite thing on the planet!!), that the little flag on the putting cup and the pinwheel got attacked and pounced to death. The ball gets thrown all over the place, and just rolling it nicely seems to be out of the question!
Is it OK to mention possibilities for other folks?
I would like some ideas, my first one was a miserable failure of confusion and then rolling around on the floor with all four legs in the air.
I wish I would have been recording!!
