Cooper, the shih tzu puppy, has a very special talent — he can stick his tongue out on command.
The pup learned this adorable trick when he was just three months old! Mom writes about the lessons she taught Cooper in order to successfully pull off the cutest trick you've ever seen:
"Ever since Cooper was a young puppy he has had his tongue sticking out some of the time. When he was 3 months old I decided to turn it into a trick. At first he kept running through his repertoire of tricks trying to figure out what he was doing to get the treat, but eventually, on the second or third day, his tail started wagging when I asked him to stick out his tongue, he stopped running through all of his tricks, and he started consciously sticking his tongue out on command. I knew he was doing it intentionally because when I asked him again he would poke it out farther and farther. He also did it immediately after I asked, and on previous days his tongue just came out randomly. I don't think this was a difficult trick to teach. It just required a lot of repetition and a lot of patience – from both me and Cooper. If your dog doesn't naturally stick his tongue out sometimes like Cooper does, I would recommend using peanut butter or holding a tasty treat in front of him to make him lick his lips."
Okay, now I know what I'm going to teach my dog next!
