Dog owners, share your tricks

[Hottentot]

Most of those "circus acts" have been and are being taught to service dogs all over the world, so they wouldn't mess up in their jobs. The dog does what you tell it, but it's the human being that makes the commands useful.

Out of curiosity, Snestorm and Betonov, you both said you don't use leashes with your dogs. What does the law in your countries say about that? Because in here it's in most cases forbidden. Not that I wouldn't do it myself every now and then (sheesh, I'm not going to get a 50m leash when I'm taking my dog to swim), but I know I could basically be fined for it.
