teach my dog a new trick

Now we are trying to teach him to cover one eye when we say “peekaboo.” My mother says we have to do this by the time we visit her over the holidays!

We’re now teaching him to count…sortof. We tell him to “touch 1,” which means touch our hand once with his nose; and “touch ,” “touch 3.” I still have to count them out for him, and then say “good boy” when he’s reached the exact number, but I want him to get to the point where he knows exactly what “touch 3” means!

He’s a wicked smaht dog, so we’re running out of basic things to teach him. He already knows how to bow, crawl, circle, loop around my legs, play dead…

Any suggestions?
