Yes, mine does the same! It’s almost like he thinks if he performs this trick, the treat is guaranteed. They are smart little dogs and can be quite persistent!

She enjoys running alongside me during my jogs.
answer · Miniature American Shepherd
Daily exercise for a Miniature American Shepherd is crucial. I usually aim for around 60 to 90 minutes of active play each day. This includes walks, fetch, and some training sessions to keep their minds sharp. They are highly intelligent and often require more exercise than you'd expect. If they don't get enough exercise, they can become a bit mischievous and develop bad habits. So, finding fun activities to keep them engaged is key.

My Mini American Shepherd is a master at predicting our routine. For instance, when I grab my shoes, she starts wagging her tail excitedly, knowing that means we're going out. It's impressive how they catch on to subtle cues. They have this intuition about what comes next. I've read that they sometimes pick up on your mood too, which adds to their charm. A good training tip is to keep their routine consistent, it really helps!

He figured out how to turn on the TV with his paw. It was hilarious to see him pawing at the remote.
