Paige knows "bang bang!" she'll instantly drop and flop on her back. She's learned she has to lie down when it comes to food time. But other than the basic commands, she doesn't have any new ones yet. She's pretty good at the food on both her paws thing, with "leave it." She's learning to retrieve anything I drop on the floor for her.

Java knows a variety. I've been teaching her to "pray," where she'll be in a sitting position and put her paws on the chair in front of her and look down at the floor between her front legs. She knows all the basic commands. She also knows "do you have to go outside?" she'll attack the door/ring the bell. "Go around" she'll turn in a circle clockwise, "other way" turn in a circle counter-clockwise. "Paws", she'll stand up and hold herself there forever. Our other favorite one is making her sit and wait, while we toss her tennis ball. That one pleases us the most because she's absolutely ball crazy. One time, we took her to the tennis courts and she wouldn't stop watching the people playing on the other side of the fence with their tennis ball.
